Frequently Asked Questions

What makes our Gingerbread House Making activity special?
This team building activity is a fun, festive experience where you get to assemble and decorate your own gingerbread houses.
We provide everything needed, including pre-baked gingerbread slabs, festive biscuit figures, icing, sweets, sprinkles and other decorations. Our instructors then guide everyone through building their house before letting their creativity take over.
This is a great choice for Christmas parties, corporate festive events and seasonal team building, combining creativity, teamwork and plenty of festive spirit.

How many people can take part in Gingerbread House Making?
This workshop is suitable for groups of 10 to 50+ guests. We can cater for larger corporate groups too, so if you’re planning a Christmas event for more than 50 people, simply speak to our team and we’ll help you organise your event.

How long does this team building activity last?
It usually lasts around 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives everyone enough time to assemble their gingerbread house, learn a few useful decorating techniques and add their own creative finishing touches!

Is this activity suitable for corporate Christmas parties?
Absolutely! The Gingerbread House Making workshop works particularly well for corporate Christmas parties, festive team building days, office celebrations and client events. It gives colleagues something fun and hands-on to do together without requiring any previous baking or cake-decorating experience.

Do you have to make gingerbread from scratch?
No, we focus mainly on the fun creative parts of the process! That’s why we provide pre-baked gingerbread slabs ready to assemble.
Guests use icing to build their gingerbread house before decorating it with sweets, toppings, sprinkles, sparkles and festive biscuit figures.

What is included in the Gingerbread House Making workshop?
We provide everything needed to run the activity, including an event host, instructors, ingredients, tools, utensils, aprons, gloves and table covers. We also provide boxes so guests can safely take their finished gingerbread houses home after the event.

Do guests need any baking or decorating experience?
No, our instructors guide guests through each stage of assembling their gingerbread house, including how to stick the structure together with icing. Once the house is built, guests have free rein to decorate it however they like.
The activity is designed to be relaxed, accessible and enjoyable for beginners as well as keen bakers and creative team members.

Is this an indoor team building activity?
Yes. Gingerbread House Making is a cosy indoor team building activity, making it ideal for winter events when you don’t want to rely on the weather. It can be hosted at a suitable office, hotel, conference venue or event space.

Can Firebird Events run Gingerbread House Making at our chosen venue?
Yes, we can bring our Gingerbread House Making experience to suitable venues and event spaces. Our team can discuss the number of guests, location and venue requirements with you before the event to make sure the activity is set up smoothly.

Can you run the Gingerbread House Making activity internationally?
Yes. We can deliver this festive team building activity for events across the UK and at international destinations. If you’re organising an overseas corporate Christmas event or festive team experience, speak to us about your location and requirements.

What do guests get to take home?
Each guest finishes the activity with their own decorated gingerbread house, which we provide a box for so it can be taken home safely. Guests can keep it as a festive centrepiece, give it as a Christmas gift or enjoy it over the holiday period.

Why is Gingerbread House Making a good team building event?
It’s a brilliant option for teams looking for something creative, sociable and seasonal. Our Gingerbread House Making experience encourages people to get involved, chat and have fun together while creating something they can take away at the end.
It’s particularly popular with companies looking for a Christmas team building activity that feels festive without being overly competitive.
