Description
Celtic Games: Irish-themed corporate team building
Celtic Games is Event Square’s high-energy Irish team building experience for corporate groups, incentive travel programmes, DMC clients and international visitors. First, teams compete in a series of traditional Irish-inspired challenges. Then, they come together for a final event.
We can deliver the programme at suitable hotels, estates and outdoor venues in Dublin, Wicklow and across Ireland. In addition, we can adapt it for different group sizes, nationalities and event formats.
How do the Celtic Games work?
During the event, teams rotate through approximately six to eight stations. Along the way, they earn points and compete for the overall title. Because the focus is participation, the format suits mixed corporate groups. It emphasises humour, teamwork and Irish culture rather than athletic ability.
Sample activities include:
- Hay Bale Rolling
- Wheelbarrow Racing
- Turf Stacking
- Horseshoe Throwing
- Welly Wanging
- Puc Fada
- Sheaf Toss
- Traditional Archery
- Tug of War
Optional Irish experiences
- Irish piper
- Bodhrán workshop
- Irish traditional music and céilí
- Falconry display
- Irish whiskey tasting
- Guided Wicklow / Ireland’s Ancient East experiences
