Any PA who plans corporate events but is also a working mum (or dad, natch) may be glad to know of a new initiative from Adventurelands.
This Newcastle based family entertainment centre is now offering corporate packages that include activities for children. While staff concentrate on grown-up bonding activities and buffet lunch, the under-12s have the run of Adventurelands’ themed soft play areas. Arts and crafts and party games such as pass the parcel can also be incorporated. The Chocolate Party Room, with chocolate fountain and disco, certainly sounds like it could be fun for all the family.
John Trewhitt, who owns Adventurelands with his wife Nicki, said: ‘There is a growing trend among businesses to incorporate employees’ families into their functions, as a way of making things easier for their staff and generating a more positive working atmosphere.’
