When Halliburton came to us wanting to reward their team with something genuinely special, we knew Arbroath was the perfect setting. A coastal town with open space, great energy, and a community feel — exactly the backdrop a corporate family fun day deserves. What followed was one of our favourite events of the summer.
Built for Families, Not Just Colleagues
What made this event stand out was the deliberate decision to include families. Halliburton didn't want a standard staff day — they wanted something that said "we value you as a whole person, not just an employee." That meant designing activities that worked for toddlers and grandparents just as well as they did for the workforce itself.
Giant inflatables, carnival games, sports challenges, and live entertainment ran simultaneously across the site, so there was never a moment where someone was standing around wondering what to do next. Our professional event crew kept everything moving smoothly, which meant the Halliburton team could actually relax and enjoy the day rather than managing it.
Why This Format Works So Well for Oil & Gas Companies
The energy sector runs on long hours, demanding rotas, and high-pressure environments. A corporate family fun day cuts through all of that — it's a genuine, visible investment in the people who keep the business running. When employees see their families being looked after and having fun, the goodwill that generates lasts far longer than any bonus or email of thanks.
We've delivered events for a number of oil and gas companies across Scotland, and the feedback is consistently the same: the family element is what makes it land.

You can also combine a fun day with team building activities for work to add a competitive, skills-building dimension to the day.
