An outdoor company celebration on the Prosna
We serve Kalisz and its surroundings, planning company picnics to make the most of what this city on the Prosna does best: spacious greenery and water right at the heart of Greater Poland. The oldest public city park in the country, founded back in the late eighteenth century, offers more than twenty hectares of old oaks and plane trees plus an amphitheatre that hosts open-air festivals every year. It is a natural, prestigious backdrop for team integration that no marquee in a car park can imitate.
When ready-made infrastructure matters, we turn to Friendship Park in the Czaszki district. Its amphitheatre stage, playgrounds, sports pitches and outdoor gym add up to a setting all but built for a family day, where children have room to run and adults listen to a band from the grass. For the waterside direction we head to Lake Szale near Opatowek, a broad reservoir ringed by the Winiary Forest; swimming is ruled out here because of algal blooms, but the beach, jetties and water sports easily carry a large fete.
Choosing the ground shapes the day in Kalisz
The choice of site has a real bearing on how the day unfolds. On the grass beneath the plane trees in the city centre, a stage and a calm departmental integration work well; by the jetties of Lake Szale, water sports and a large fete; and beside a campfire in the Winiary Forest, an intimate sausage roast away from the bustle.
Nearer the centre, the Prosna itself builds a similar mood: a marina with pedal boats, SUP boards and kayaks, plus boulevards with running, skating and cycling trails, forms the spine of an active picnic right by the offices. We advise on the layout to suit the size of the group, the company profile and the season, lifting the entire organisational burden off the HR team.
A dense base for team-building and a reliable plan B
Kalisz offers an unusually rich base for team-building, from horse riding in Wolica and windsurfing on Szale, through a rope park and quad bikes on the outskirts, to axe throwing or arrowtag, which we set up on the meadow of Targowka Ranch in Milaczewskie Mlyny.
When the weather lets us down, we move the programme under a roof: to the local aquapark with pools, saunas and a bowling alley, or to the Jump Planet trampoline park. We agree the contingency scenario at the quoting stage, so a decision to relocate takes minutes rather than hours.
Frequently asked
It all depends on the size and character of the event. For a large fete with a ready-made stage, we recommend Friendship Park or the prestigious Municipal Park on the Prosna; for a waterside programme, Lake Szale; and for an intimate day with a campfire, the Winiary Forest with its covered barbecue shelter. We advise on a specific place once we know your team and expectations.
The picnic season on the Prosna usually runs from May to September, when the marina with pedal boats and SUP is open and the parks are at their greenest. Early summer and September are often the kindest weather-wise, as the heat eases and the old trees of the Municipal Park provide plenty of shade. It is worth booking the date ahead, as many regional firms compete for the best weekends at the height of the season.
We secure every outdoor event with a plan B matched to the site. At Targowka Ranch we have a banquet hall on hand, in the Winiary Forest a covered barbecue shelter, and at larger scale we move the group indoors to the local aquapark with pools, saunas and a bowling alley, or to the Jump Planet trampoline park. We set the contingency at the quoting stage.
