Team offsites and away days in London
Planning a 2027 offsite or away day in London?
Aces High is corporate team building that gives your team the practical tools to negotiate with confidence, communicate assertively and make smarter decisions in high-stakes moments. Poker is the vehicle. Teams play through structured hands that surface genuine moments of pressure, risk and choice, then unpack those moments with a facilitator to draw out lessons on negotiation, communication and decision-making.
It's designed from the ground up for complete beginners, with no prior poker knowledge needed and no gambling at any point. We play for plastic chips and prizes.
What your team takes back to the office
Read body language
noticing the signals in pacing, posture and hesitation that most people miss.
Negotiate with confidence
knowing your value, and timing your contribution so you communicate it decisively.
Deep listening
tuning into what's being said, what's not being said, and how the story is shifting in real time.
Self-regulation in high-stakes moments
managing your stress response, so you think clearly and make your move when the pressure's on.

"Aces High was a standout success for our offsite. The business parallels were spot on - from risk/reward and knowing when to cut your losses, to learning why negotiations fail, and ensuring everyone around the table can assert their value. It's rare to find something that's this enjoyable and this commercially useful at the same time."
Anthony York, Group People Director - IP Global
Bespoke to your away day
Our signature workshop is neatly packaged into 3-4 hours, including breaks. However, all workshops are fully bespoke, so we can work to your session timings. Our workshop follows nicely from a working session, whether it's a strategy day, a leadership offsite or an away day.
Aces High events typically cater to groups of 6-60+, in tables of up to 6-8 participants, and we can host much larger, bespoke events too.
A team day with impact
We travel to client offices, hotel function rooms and venues across London and beyond, with our own poker tables. Aces High provides expert facilitators, professional dealers, premium playing cards, poker chips and kit - and of course - prizes and trophies!
No venue in mind? We work with a number of partner venues across London that are used to hosting Aces High events, and Aces High do not take a mark up on food, drink or room hire.
Perfect for team away-days, strategy days, leadership training and executive offsites.
