We seem to have gone from a mild winter to spring showers and straight into proper hot summer days in the space of about a fortnight. And now you’re sitting there thinking, “Right, I need to get a fabulous summer party sorted for the team.”
But how to get started? You feel like you’ve done it all before, and trying to pull something unique together when it’s practically June feels like a massive headache. Don’t panic. That is exactly why Ex Events is here. We can help you pull off a fantastic, last-minute summer bash, even on a ridiculously tight deadline.
Let’s look at the concept. London is brilliant because there is always a new spot opening up, whether it is a fresh rooftop bar or a hidden garden. While most summer events default to a classic rooftop, there are so many lovely seasonal venues popping up every single year now. Think beautiful, fully equipped marquees with air conditioning, proper bars, and space for entertainment. It is an amazing setting for bigger groups, especially if you want to bake some team building activities into the day.

You could also split the day in two. Start at an activity-based venue in the afternoon, then move on to a sunset bar for the evening. The options really are endless.
But let’s face it, we live in the UK. We can’t get too carried away with the sunshine because a sudden summer downpour is never far off. Touch wood, it won’t happen, but we always ensure a solid wet-weather backup plan is firmly in place just in case.
If you want to go really big, why not plan a family day out? Including partners and kids is a wonderful way to show your team that you actually care about their work-life balance, especially if you host it on a Saturday.

Oh, and don’t rule out river cruises. They are becoming massively popular because they offer a completely different vibe and a totally exclusive, private party feel. Plus, if London gets incredibly stuffy, you get that lovely natural breeze on the water.
We can’t give away all our secrets here, obviously. So, if you want to know more and need a hand pulling off a memorable summer event, drop us a line. We will find the perfect solution for whatever you need.
