Corporate Event in Torun – Team Building Ideas for Companies

In Torun, team building doesn’t have to mean a conference room and a buffet. A Gothic Old Town on the UNESCO World Heritage List, gingerbread traditions and the Vistula right outside the city walls offer plenty of options, and a corporate event in Torun can combine sightseeing, team challenges and an evening your staff will be talking about for a long time.

Below you’ll find team-building ideas for smaller and larger teams, a sample day plan and practical tips for anyone organising a company trip.

Where to start planning

First, define the purpose of the event: bonding a new team, a reward after closing a project, an evening after a conference or a visit from business partners. That decides whether you go for activities or a relaxed party. The number of participants affects your choice of attractions – with a large group, it’s worth splitting it into several teams that rotate between activities. You can hold a conference or a larger meeting at venues such as the Jordanki Cultural and Congress Centre. On a trip lasting several days, plan one active day and one more relaxed one, and leave some free time in each – participants will appreciate a moment to unwind.

Team building ideas for a corporate event in Torun

1. A city game around the Old Town

Teams get maps and tasks, and the route leads between the Town Hall, Krzywa Wieża (the Leaning Tower), the Gothic gates by the Vistula and the ruins of the Teutonic Castle. Puzzles based on Torun legends and the story of Copernicus mean that even people who know the city discover it anew. You can prepare the game yourselves or book it through a local organiser.

2. Gingerbread workshops for your team

At Muzeum Toruńskiego Piernika (the Museum of Torun Gingerbread) on Strumykowa Street, participants bake decorative gingerbread from the original dough and spices, and the museum takes workshop bookings for groups. For a more tongue-in-cheek version, try Żywe Muzeum Piernika (the Living Museum of Gingerbread), where the Master Gingerbread Baker and the Witch introduce guests to the old guild rituals. Add a contest for the best-decorated gingerbread, with a prize for the winning team.

3. A party tram with your company logo

A private tram works both as a stand-alone event and as a spectacular transfer – for example from your hotel to the company dinner. The corporate offer includes, among other things, a professional sound system, club lighting, a welcome drink, a dedicated party host, a flair bartending show, team-building games, catering, photo coverage and an HD souvenir video – and the quote covers exactly the elements you want. On request, we’ll prepare a banner with your company logo on the tram, and for bigger teams we can plan a ride with several trams. You’ll find the details on our Torun corporate tram party page.

4. A space mission at the Orbitarium

Torun’s planetarium is housed in a former gasworks tank, and its interactive section – the Orbitarium – casts visitors as mission control specialists piloting a space probe. The task calls for cooperation, so it works well as part of a team-building programme. For teams who enjoy experiments, the Młyn Wiedzy (Mill of Knowledge) science centre is an alternative.

5. A bonfire at Fort IV

Fort IV was built at the end of the 19th century as part of the ring of forts around the Torun Fortress. Today it offers accommodation as well as space for picnics and bonfires, making it a good choice for a more relaxed evening outdoors – with grilled sausages, a guitar and conversations around the fire.

6. A cruise on the Vistula

In season, sightseeing boats depart from Bulwar Filadelfijski (Philadelphia Boulevard), and the view of Torun from the river is regarded as one of the most beautiful panoramas in Poland. A relaxing cruise nicely balances the more intense parts of the programme and encourages conversation in a less formal atmosphere.

7. A concert or a show

A group outing to a concert at Dwór Artusa (Artus Court) or the Jordanki centre, or to a play at the Wilam Horzyca Theatre, suits teams who prefer a cultural evening to the dance floor. Check what’s on for the date of your event and book seats for the whole group well in advance.

8. A trip out of town

On a longer trip, it’s worth adding a short excursion into the surrounding area. Around 24 km from Torun lies the spa town of Ciechocinek, with its brine graduation towers and spa park, and just over 40 km away is the castle in Golub-Dobrzyń, built by the Teutonic Knights, where knights’ tournaments are held.

9. Adrenaline-fuelled activities

Teams that love sporty competition can test themselves at a shooting range, a rope park, a go-kart track or a paintball field – in and around Torun, activities like these are organised for groups. The teams’ scores are then easy to sum up at the evening party, with token prizes for the winners.

A sample team-building day in Torun

• 10:00 – a city game around the Old Town
• 13:00 – lunch at a restaurant in the Old Town
• 14:30 – gingerbread workshop or a mission at the Orbitarium
• 17:00 – free time and hotel check-in
• 19:00 – party tram ride from outside the hotel
• 21:00 – dinner and an after party near the final stop

Practical tips

• Dates – the tram must be booked at least 5 working days before the event, and pre-Christmas dates are worth securing well in advance.
• Plan B – for outdoor activities, have a rainy-day alternative ready, such as the Orbitarium or a workshop.
• A reward for the team – a tram party voucher, valid for 6 months, makes a great gift for standout employees.
• Diets and allergies – collect information from participants before you order catering.
