How to Plan a Work Social That Gets People Talking

Every company wants their summer, work social to be a highlight of the year but too often, it ends up as the same tired routine: polite small talk, a buffet lunch, and everyone checking the time by 3pm.

If 2026 is the year you want to do things differently, this is your sign to level up that work social.

From Icebreakers to Actual Connections

Forget the forced activities and trust exercises. Real team building happens when people are relaxed, laughing, and sharing moments that feel spontaneous.

That’s what makes mini golf such a winner as a work social. It’s competitive enough to get people talking but laid back enough for everyone to feel involved. No pressure, no awkwardness, just light hearted rivalry.

Transform your space

You don’t need a huge budget or fancy venue to pull off something memorable. The trick is using your space in the right way.

At Globetrotters Golf, we turn any space into buzzing social zones. Our portable mini golf courses and garden games slot perfectly into almost any setting, outdoor or indoor.

It’s a simple addition that instantly elevates the atmosphere, turning unused corners into the centre of attention. 

Fun for everyone!

Not everyone wants to run around a field or sit through a long dinner, as their work social. Mini golf strikes the perfect balance.

Teams can play at their own pace, pair up with colleagues they don’t usually work with, or just join in the laughter. It’s inclusive, low pressure, and ideal for mixed groups of all ages and personalities.

Moments that last beyond the day...
