CORPORATE EVENTS & WELLNESS RETREATS

Did your best idea come when you were sitting in front of your desk, in a meeting, or was it when you were taking a walk when you had some mental space to think?

When deeply immersed in nature, we can learn to re-connect with ourselves, our peers and our brain’s frontal cortex.

We aspire for guests to leave The Manor Gardens with more than they came with. A concept to ponder, a new skill, inspiration for change, or simply a renewed interest in the natural world.

At The Manor Gardens, we invite you to reconnect with nature, and relax into its solitude.

Corporate Venue Hire

We believe team away-days should achieve connectedness through engaging activities designed to spark joy and team unity. Every day should finish around the campfire, kindling conversations.

Pricing starts from £3,600 for mid-week, one-day exclusive hire of the venue to host up to 150 guests.

From there, you can choose from a range of additional facilities to design your dream event space. We work closely with a team of dedicated local suppliers who can supply up to four linked Giant Tipis, a marquee or glamping village over overnight stays.

Select from our range of bolt-on activities to inspire your team:

  • Bushcraft & Survival Skills
  • Art workshop
  • Foraging

  • Yoga
  • Axe Throwing & Archery
  • Natural Skincare workshop
