Blackton Grange is perfect for team building and team development events.
Your team will be able to:

  • focus on improving effectiveness and performance in the workplace 

  • have an outdoor adventure together

  • be rewarded for a job well done 

  • have some fun !

You can run your own team building agenda, or our onsite expert team from First Ascent can help. We will provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for your team.

We have a range of team building exercises available. All our exercises have been fully risk assessed, are completely safe and designed for absolute inclusivity. These are available for your own use, or for use within a programme we design for you.

For those looking for a slightly more adventurous experience, we organise team development ‘journeys”. These range from half-day to multi-day experiences and incorporate hosts of opportunities to practice leadership and team development skills …. in the safe but exciting environment of the North Pennines.

We have a fleet of mountain bikes for you to create a mountain bike challenge or to simply explore the valley at the end of the day. We will provide you with varying routes to suit your level of fitness or capability.

The following activities can be provided to enhance your team building activities: 

  • Gorge walking 

  • Climbing 

  • Abseiling 

  • Treasure Hunt 

  • Raft Building 

  • Kayaking/Canoeing 

  • Clay Pigeon Shooting 

  • Off Road Driving 

  • Horse Riding

We can cater for up to 60 people for a one-day event, or 30 people for a residential event.

A roaring log fire in a beautifully decorated lounge, will help to build relationships and enable plenty of conversation about the day’s activities! .
