Forget awkward ice-breakers, trust falls and predictable team-building exercises! The Great Billy Cart Challenge by Girl & Grain is a hands-on, high-energy creative experience that brings colleagues together to make, imagine, collaborate and have some seriously good fun along the way.
Part creative workshop, part team-building experience, it’s an opportunity to step away from the everyday, try something new and rediscover the simple joy of making things with your own hands. There’ll be creativity and plenty of laughter, all culminating in a fabulous full-sized billy cart (the perfect accessory to any office!) and playful mini billy cart races to round out the day.
No experience necessary. Just your team, a sense of fun and the joy of making something together!
The joy of making together:
At Girl & Grain, we believe there's something pretty special about making something with your own hands. Our mission is simple: to share the joy of making!
It's about getting creative, learning something new, surprising yourself with what you can do and experiencing that wonderful sense of satisfaction when something you've made comes together.
And we think those experiences are even better when they're shared.
The Great Billy Cart Challenge brings that spirit into the workplace, giving colleagues the opportunity to set aside their usual roles and connect through a shared, creative experience. What better way to bring people together and build stronger workplace connections than by rolling up your sleeves!
What to expect:
In our session, your team will work together to assemble (pre-cut) plywood components into one seriously impressive, full-sized billy cart. With guidance from Girl & Grain founder and experienced woodworking educator Katie, you will work in teams to build each component of the billy cart and bring it to life.
There are plenty of opportunities for your team's imagination to run wild and really have fun. From using tools to assemble the body, building and decorating the spoiler, constructing the winner's trophy, or bringing the aesthetic personality to the cart, there's a way for everyone to contribute!
Every participant will also have the opportunity to make and personalise their very own miniature billy cart. Using a colourful collection of craft materials and a hot-glue gun, they'll create their own personalised billy cart. And once they're all complete, we'll come together and race them, adding some light-hearted competition to the session.
Make even more of your day
If you'd like to take your Billy Cart Challenge experience a little further, we've got two fantastic ways to make your event even more memorable.
Give back with a Charity Auction - At the end of the event, your completed full-sized billy cart can be auctioned off, with proceeds going to a charity of your company's choice. It's a wonderful way to bring everyone together for a good cause, celebrate what you've created and extend the positive impact of your event.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Capture all the creativity, laughter and memorable moments with our optional professional filming and editing package. We'll capture your team in action and put together a professionally edited highlights video that tells the story of your day. Not only will your team have a fantastic keepsake, but your company will walk away with engaging, authentic content to share across its social media channels, website and internal communications platform.
It's a brilliant opportunity to showcase your people, celebrate your workplace culture and promote your business in a fun, genuine and engaging way. Great memories for your team. Great content for your business.

After a 20-year career making TV commercials, I realised I had lost the love of what I was making. And for a maker the love is everything!
I enrolled in a three-year TAFE course, determined to become a qualified tradie. Fast forward ten years and now I run my own business, Girl & Grain, making beautiful custom-made furniture and sharing my passion for woodworking through hands-on workshops. Whether you're looking for a short course, a one-on-one lesson or three days of intensive learning, my goal is simple: to help you build confidence, learn new skills and discover the joy of making something with your own hands.
