If you plan to bond with your team in a more relaxed, non-work setting, consider booking a yoga studio or a creative space to host wellness sessions or team-building activities. Small meeting rooms, coworking spaces, and loft-style venues are great options for more structured away days that still enable productivity outside the office.
New Town is a top choice in the center with stylish away day venues like Hanover Tap and many cool cafes and restaurants nearby for a post-event drink. Old Town is great if you want spaces with historic architecture and interior design, with spots like the Riddle's court for smaller teams. If you want larger spaces and a casual vibe, check out Leith for venues like Easter Road Stadium, which has plenty of room and easy access to the waterfront.
