10 BEST TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN BIRMINGHAM

A global industrial powerhouse in the geographical centre of England.

Birmingham is the second-largest city in the United Kingdom. Positioned 177 kilometres northwest of London, it lies at the geographical centre of England, spanning a whopping 3 counties with a total area of 268 square kilometres.

Today, the city is alive with activity and technological innovation. After many historical buildings were destroyed during WWII, Birmingham has undergone rapid development with tall apartment blocks, office buildings and shopping centres now forming much of the city architecture. Structures such as the classical Town Hall, Renaissance-style Council House, the City of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and St. Philips Cathedral survived the bombings and are now popular tourist attractions.

Birmingham is a thriving metropolis with connections to many of the nation’s major cities making it the perfect location to host your team-building event. The city’s comprehensive public transport system makes it easy to navigate the city as you engage in a variety of team-building activities, think adrenaline-fueled paintballing, relaxing wine tasting and challenging rock climbing, to name a few.
