Incentives

Looking for a fun, bonding group activity to do with your team? Reading has lots of options for incentive trips and all within easy reach of Reading's great hotels.

On the water and land

Reading is on the River Thames and the Kennet & Avon Canal and surrounded by lakes. Take your group paddleboarding or bond on the aqua park, make a raft together to test your team or even learn to water ski. You can also book your own Thames River Cruise and turn it into an 1980s disco, if you want! 

There are lots of physical team building options in Reading, from High Ropes with Grahame Robb Associates at the Wokefield Estate to climbing trees or throwing axes at Go Ape or even Go Kart racing. Your could book one of Reading's Escape Rooms to test your problem solving skills.  

Wine, beer and cocktails

Beer is one of Reading's historic 3Bs and there is now a new wave of micro breweries carrying on the tradition. Take a tour (and tasting) at Double Barrelled Brewery or taste fine English wines on a tour of nearby Stanlake Vineyard. There are also lots of hands-on opportunties, not least cocktail making at The Roseate Hotel or the Malmaison Hotel 'Malchemy' classes.

Try something unsual

Find your inner peace walking alpacas alongside the Thames or find out more about 1000 years of history on a walking tour. Or why not seek out your the actors in you and book a theatre class from the experts at Rabble Theatre. 

Dine well 

At the end of the day, Reading has plentiful options to dine out in style. From 5 star tasting menus at The Reading Room to street food and local ale at Blue Collar Corner. Book the private dining room at Bills or sample one of the UK's best reviewed Indian restaurants, Clay's. You can even dine aboard the Caversham Princess as you cruise the Thames. 

So close
Reading is just 40 minute west of London with direct trains from central London on the Elizabeth Line, GWR services from Paddington take just 23 minutes and direct connections to over 250 other locations in the UK. Your team won't spend the whole day getting here!
