In case you need any more good reasons to visit this multi-purpose county for your next corporate team building event in Leicestershire…

1.     Afternoon tea was invented in Leicestershire, at the magnificent Belvoir Castle. This mouth-watering, quintessentially English tradition initiated by the Duchess of Bedford in the mid-1840s continues to this day. And what better way to celebrate great British tradition than a good game of Country Pursuits?

2.     Leicestershire is the home of Melton Mowbray pork pies, Red Leicester and Stilton cheeses, and Walkers Crisps. In fact, it’s estimated staggering 11 million bags are produced here every day! Foodie heritage of this calibre makes it an apt setting for cooking up a storm with a team Bake Off Challenge. 

3.     Modern tourism as we know it started in Leicestershire, with Thomas Cook organising the first package holiday in 1841 – a rail trip from Leicester to Loughborough. And you can re-create this very journey with an exhilarating and educational Team Treasure Hunt around Leicestershire, tipping a nod to the statue of Cook still standing outside Leicester Railway Station.

Race around Leicester City past renowned landmarks such as The King Power Stadium and Jewry Wall Museum, in pursuit of the most points and of course, the title for Treasure Hunt Champions!

Anybody for Bandeoke? Leicestershire’s most historic concert venue, the grand De Montfort Hall, has hosted many of the music industry’s biggest and brightest names over the years.
