Work-life balance is increasingly important in organisations and more companies are recognising the value of providing perks that involve employees’ families as this boosts employee morale and fosters stronger loyalty to the company.
Corporate family fun days are a direct and exciting way to include employees’ families in the company culture and show care for their personal lives. When employees feel valued in this way, it enhances job satisfaction, productivity, motivation and team cohesion.
Corporate or company family fun days are events where employees’ partners and children are invited to join in, enjoying a variety of activities together. But how do you make sure everyone has a good time, especially with such a diverse audience?
At GOTO Events, we offer a wide range of inclusive, family-friendly corporate activities that we can bring to your event, at any location in the UK. Whether it’s outdoor inflatable fun, sports days, immersive indoor activities, or even charity and sustainability workshops, here are 9 corporate family fun day ideas that everyone will enjoy.

Bringing your team and their families together for a charitable cause is a wonderful way to make a positive impact on your community while encouraging family involvement in giving back.
At GOTO Events, we have crafted a series of meaningful yet fun charity activities suitable for all ages, allowing you to make a real difference for a chosen charity. Here are our top charity activities, perfect for a corporate family fun day with a special purpose:
- Putt for a Purpose – In Putt for a Purpose, we've revamped traditional mini-golf with a fun twist: teams create their own courses using food bank and household items like cans, cereal boxes and shampoo bottles. After building the holes, it's time to putt your way to victory. Once the game ends, we dismantle the course and donate all items to charity.
- Sleep Pods – With something for everyone, work together to conquer a series of action-packed challenges and unlock the materials needed to build life-saving Sleep Pods. Guided by the expert facilitator, construct the Sleep Pods using the materials you’ve earned. Once completed, the pods will become emergency shelter for those in need during extreme weather conditions.
- Paws for a Cause – This charity activity directly supports the welfare of animals in need by building feeders and furniture for local shelters. Guided by the facilitator, roll up your sleeves and build essential items for the animals, prioritising both safety and functionality. Once each team completes their creations, all items will undergo safety checks and will be delivered to the shelters.
- Charity Bike Build – In this hands-on corporate event, participants assemble brand new bikes for underprivileged children. To earn the parts for the bikes, teams will tackle a series of light-hearted challenges. Teams will also have the chance to add a personalised message onto their bike. After the charity event, GOTO Events will collect all the bikes and donate them to the chosen charity.

7. Masterpiece
Getting creative with a brush is a favorite activity for any child. As adults, we often forget how fun it is to just let our creativity flow and splash some color on a blank canvas. The Masterpiece corporate event is a unique way to bring everyone together and challenge both kids and adults to tap into their artistic side.
To earn the art supplies, teams will tackle a series of fun and engaging tasks. Once you’ve got your supplies, it’s time to grab the paintbrushes and work with your team to recreate a given picture. While each piece might look abstract on its own, when all the teams finish their canvases, they come together to reveal a stunning masterpiece.
We can tweak this event to fit your crowd, picking the right challenges and artwork that’s relevant to you. Displaying the giant artwork in your office creates a great sense of community and teamwork. Plus, having something your family and colleagues created together will bring a touch of home to your workplace.
