Year end events for every finish line

The year ends more than once. We run celebrations for the calendar year, the financial year and every big win in between.

End of calendar year function

Thank your team for the year with a day out they will actually look forward to. Run it in November or December.

End of financial year (EOFY)

Mark 30 June with a team celebration. It is a popular pick for accounting, finance and professional services teams.

Awards and recognition days

Hand out trophies, medals and shout-outs. Celebrate the people and the projects that made your year.

Staff appreciation days

Show your people you value them. Mix food, games and a relaxed afternoon away from the desk.

Summer kick-off events

Start the new year with energy. Sport, sunshine and a BBQ set the tone for the months ahead.

Client thank-you events

Host your best clients at a relaxed, active event. It builds relationships far better than another dinner.

Yes. We design each event around your team's ages, mobility and fitness. Seated, low-impact and brain-based options sit alongside high-energy sport.

End of year function ideas that suit your whole team

A good end of year celebration does two jobs. It says thank you, and it brings people closer. The classic sit-down dinner often misses on both. Some people feel left out. Others just want to go home.

Anderson Events has run corporate events for Sydney businesses since 2003. We build year end celebrations around what your team enjoys. That might be a sports carnival, an Amazing Race, a quiz challenge or a relaxed family day. Add catering, awards and a drink, and you have a celebration people talk about for months.

We plan events across the year. Book a calendar year end function in November or December. Mark the financial year in June. Kick off summer with an outdoor sports day. Every event runs at 15+ venues across Sydney, or at your preferred location in NSW.
