At the start of this year, few of us had any idea that we were about to embark on a steep learning curve into the world of virtual events, or that six months later we’d be looking for innovative ways to connect with and celebrate Christmas with our colleagues, friends and family! It’s been a roller coaster ride for everyone; adapting to new ways of working and living. For us, we’ve also been beavering away behind the scenes to implement a business name change, in line with ELLE magazine’s instructions, and are currently moving our online and offline presence to the new and improved ‘Ellevate Entertainment Ltd’.
The next six months may look uncertain, but we NEED to focus on what we CAN do! So, full steam ahead to the festive season, and 10 fun ways we can help spread Christmas cheer safely!

Our song production sessions inspire creativity, strengthen connections, empower teams and builds a deeply unified corporate culture.
6. THE MAGIC OF NUMEROLOGY – Take your team on a fascinating and inspiring journey by delving into destiny numbers, your personal year, and the meaning and expression of your name. Jo Soley’s Bizology workshop uses the Powers of Numerology to help elevate your team’s success. Connecting your delegates to the energies of the numbers by showing them how the energies of the numbers affect us on a daily basis, sharing what numerology is and isn’t, and will show the delegates how to calculate their life path number, what these specific energies mean and how to harness this energy in their life and career.
7. CHARLIE CHRISTMAS CREATIONS – Christmas is all about eating, drinking and feeling merry, and we have the perfect adventure for those tastebuds with this Flavour Explorer session! One hour in length and in the very capable hands of a Charlie Creations representative, your participants will receive individual taste experience boxes delivered direct to their door ahead of the event, and on the day, be able to share in the extravaganza with others on the call!

In his uniquely humorous and informative style, Harry will show you step by step, how to be effective in story telling using the power of the pen and robbed of the written word.
9. THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ESCAPE ROOM – Who can solve the puzzles and escape first from the Mystery Mansion? Share screens and compete in teams to become the champions by escaping the rooms in the fastest time. You have the tasks, challenges, puzzles and riddles to solve to earn clues and escape each room. Working together, delegates connect and learn things about each other, encouraging communication and boosting team morale.
10. SEASONAL ONLINE PUB QUIZ – We all love a pub quiz, but right now these are restricted… So, how about a virtual pub experience where you can enjoy a selection of craft beers and snacks delivered to your door, whilst joining colleagues in an hilarious live hosted quiz just for you? A wide variety of rounds to keep you on your toes, coupled with personalised questions around the topic of your choice!
