Company BBQ Dublin with Team Building

A company BBQ in Dublin is one of the most popular summer event formats for corporate teams.

But catering alone does not create a strong event.

When you add structured team building in Dublin before the BBQ, you give the day a clear start, competitive energy and better interaction across departments.

The format is simple:

1. Outdoor team building first.
2. BBQ service after.
3. Music and social time into the evening.

We organise the full company BBQ in Dublin, including:

• Venue sourcing across Dublin
• Outdoor team building
• BBQ catering coordination
• Marquee cover if required
• On the day event management

You deal with one organiser from planning through delivery.

How a Company BBQ in Dublin Typically Runs

Most company BBQ events in Dublin follow a similar flow:

• Arrival and team briefing
• Structured team competition
• Scores announced
• BBQ and drinks
• Social time

The team building session is event managed and competitive, but inclusive. Teams rotate through challenges. Participation is group-based. No one is singled out.

The session length flexes around your group size and venue plan.

This format works particularly well for corporate groups in the 50 to 120 range, though it scales from 25 upwards.

Team Building Formats That Work Before a Company BBQ in Dublin

The right format depends on your group and the tone you want for the day.

These options are most commonly paired with a company BBQ in Dublin.

Back to School Sports Day

A structured outdoor team competition with timed challenges and clear scoring.

Teams rotate through stations and a winning team is announced at the end.

Best suited to groups who want movement, energy and light competition before the BBQ.

Challenger

A faster-paced team competition with cumulative scoring and a final challenge.

Works well for competitive corporate teams who want sharper structure before moving into the social part of the day.

Can run indoors or outdoors depending on your Dublin venue.

Digital Treasure Hunt

An outdoor team competition run through our event app.

Teams move through checkpoints, complete timed challenges and track points on a live leaderboard.

This suits groups who prefer strategy and movement without sports-style games. Works well in Dublin city centre or venue grounds.

Family Fun Day

If your company BBQ in Dublin includes partners or children, this format allows you to structure the day around broader participation.

Fully event managed with activities suitable for different age groups.

Best suited for weekend summer BBQs or company celebrations that extend beyond employees.
