A creative afternoon for up to 50 colleagues in London
Sessions that give a London team something to make or dance together: a canvas, a shared painting, a personal colour palette, a routine learned in an afternoon or a room full of laughter. Each runs in person at your venue, from 20 minutes to a full day.
A Stratford team of about 50 sent its brief after browsing London creative sessions.
Laughter yoga to lift a flagging room
Twenty minutes to an hour of guided laughter that turns a seated group into one room laughing together, led in English or Chinese.

Paint together, take a portrait home
An artist leads painting, drawing and live art exercises shaped to the group, and every colleague leaves holding their own canvas.
With James
One team, many marks
Intuitive painting, movement and music in which each person keeps their own mark while the team makes one work together.
With Claudio
Dance it out, together
A light-hearted dance session in a bright studio: the team shakes off the desk, loosens up and moves as one.

Your colours, read in an afternoon
A colour stylist reads each colleague’s palette and shows which colours and combinations make them shine.

A recent London brief: about 50 colleagues, an afternoon slot of 90 minutes at most, and a session that does things differently.
What creative session suits a company away day in London for 50 people?
Sharvari's dance session takes 5 to 50 people and can be set at 20 minutes or at two and a half hours. For up to 40, Larhysa's games and Daisy's pottery are led in person in London, and James's painting workshop takes up to 25, with everyone leaving holding a canvas.
Which team away days in London leave the team with something they made?
Daisy's pottery session has each person make two or three stoneware pieces. The pieces are fired at her studio and posted back to the address you choose, so something from the day lands on every desk. Gemma's eco art session makes collage and macramé in a small group of 4 to 15.

Where a session sits in a London away day
An away day in London usually has one slot to fill with something the whole team does together: the opener, the first hour after lunch or the close. A Culture Vitale session fills it, led in person at your office, a studio or a hired room anywhere in London, in formats from 20 minutes to two and a half hours for groups of 4 to 50.
| Format | Length | Group | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indian folk and classical dance | 20 to 150 minutes | 5 to 50 | Your venue |
| Playground for grown-ups | 45 to 75 minutes | 8 to 40 | Your venue |
| Hand-built pottery | 60 to 120 minutes | 10 to 40 | Your office or venue |
| Listening Lab | 90 minutes | 1 to 15 | Your location |
What should we plan for a corporate away day in London?
Fix the venue and the agenda, then add one session that gives the team something to do together. In London, sessions run from 20 minutes to two and a half hours for 4 to 50 people: pottery, dance, improv, eco art, storytelling or a listening lab. Pick the slot you want to fill, and the session comes to your venue.
What suits an away day in London when the slot is only 45 minutes?
Sharvari's dance session can be set from 20 minutes and Larhysa's play session runs 45 to 75 minutes. Both lead in person in London, and Sharvari's takes up to 50 people, so a short slot still works for a whole department.
How do we add a session to a business away day in London that already has its venue?
Send us the date, the venue, the group size and the slot you want to fill, and tailored options come back quickly. You can also browse London experts and sessions and book directly. The session then comes to the venue you chose, whether that is your office, a studio or a hired room.
Two more ways to fill an away-day slot
Beyond the creative afternoon, London teams use an away-day slot in two other ways: a retreat day for a team leading change, built around presence and storytelling, and a quieter session on listening and trust for a smaller group. Each pairs a format with the Culturists who lead it.
Change and storytelling
A London retreat day for a team leading a change can give two hours to the story everyone will tell. David brings improv and group dynamics from a performer's practice, so the people carrying the change practise how a message lands.
An international non-profit's London team of 30 to 40 planned a storytelling retreat day.
Who can we hire to lead a session at a company away day in the UK?
In London, David leads improv and group dynamics as a CIPD-qualified learning and development professional and a comedian seen on TV, radio and the West End stage. He leads in person at your venue, and you can send a brief or browse and book.
What storytelling session suits a London retreat day for a team going through change?
David's Productive Playfulness session brings improv and group dynamics to a team going through change, shaped to your slot and your group. It runs in person at your London venue; send a brief, or browse and book directly.
Listening and connection
A smaller London team can give a slot to listening and trust. Vinnie's Listening Lab tests attention, plays field recordings and live music, and ends with a short sound scene the group makes together, in 90 minutes. Benjamin's partner and group movement runs 60 to 90 minutes for 10 to 30 people.
The Listening Lab runs at your own location; Benjamin leads in person in London.

What session suits a team away day in London for 15 people?
Vinnie's Listening Lab takes up to 15 people for 90 minutes. Gemma's eco art suits 4 to 15, Benjamin's movement session takes 10 to 30, and Larhysa's play session takes 8 to 40. All of them lead in person in London.
Which London away-day session builds trust between colleagues?
Benjamin's partner and group movement is built for trust and communication, and Larhysa's games are built on laughter and shared play. Vinnie's Listening Lab builds attention: the group listens to field recordings and live music, then makes a sound scene together.
