Eofy celebration trends for businesses
End Of Financial Year isn’t just a calendar milestone. It’s a prime opportunity to recognise results, recharge your team, and set the tone for what’s next. But the usual bar tab and late email invite? Not cutting it in 2025. The best businesses are rethinking their End Of Financial Year celebrations with strategy, structure, and serious intent. Think curated experiences that boost retention, spark connection, and actually reflect your company culture. Whether you're wrapping up a huge year or rallying for what’s ahead, your EOFY event should do more than tick a box. It should tell your team they matter. It should remind them why they’re proud to be here. And it should leave them talking long after the confetti settles. Here’s how smart companies are doing it.

Think morning harbour cruises with mindfulness sessions, yoga in the vines followed by gourmet brunch, or nature retreats with luxe touches. No awkward icebreakers.

Retro Throwback Parties
Everything old is new again. From 90s neon nostalgia to Studio 54 glam, themed throwback parties are bringing the fun back big time. These events combine clever styling with music, food, and entertainment that nods to the past while keeping it slick. Whether it’s disco balls and sax solos or boy band karaoke and denim on denim, it’s all about giving your team a shared experience that feels iconic. This trend works especially well when combined with a dress code, era inspired cocktails, or a retro photo booth. Cringe? Never. Curated? Always.
Offsite Escapes & Day Trips
Offsite Escapes & Day Trips
In 2025, businesses are trading boardrooms for beach clubs, wineries, and hinterland hideouts. End Of Financial Year escapes give teams a change of scenery and a serious mood shift. Think private transfers, rolling itineraries, hosted games, and long table lunches with a view. It’s not just a day out, it’s a complete departure from the everyday. This trend is perfect for businesses wanting a “work hard, reward harder” moment that makes the whole team feel like VIPs. Bonus points if phones go down and connections go up.

Luxe Long Lunches With A Twist
The humble lunch just got an upgrade. In 2025, teams are swapping loud, overcrowded venues for private dining rooms, rooftop settings, and multi course menus with flair. But it’s not just about the food. Add surprise entertainment, wine pairings, or a cheeky team game between courses and you’ve got yourself an event that delivers. Perfect for leadership teams, tight knit squads, or businesses that want to celebrate without the late night. It’s premium without being stuffy. Memorable without being over the top. And yes, dessert is mandatory.
Competitive Chaos Done Right
Competitive Chaos Done Right
Some teams bond best with a scoreboard in sight and bragging rights on the line. Bubble soccer, darts, karaoke, and lawn bowls are leading the charge for competitive End Of Financial Year celebrations. Whether it’s bouncing into teammates, nailing a bullseye, hitting the high note, or rolling the winning bowl, there’s something hilariously unifying about playful rivalry. These experiences are curated to spark laughter, movement, and connection, with food, drinks, and a cheeky awards session to top it off. It’s not just fun, it’s strategically designed mayhem. Perfect for energising the team and spotlighting hidden talents.
Finish the financial year off with a bang!
