3. Corporate Wellbeing...Discover Our Top 3 Venues Outside The Big City!

Wednesday 4 January 2023

A bit of a change to our normal central London venues, our London venue finding team have picked 3 hotels out of town to escape the fast-paced city lifestyle and take you away to a more exclusive, calm, and relaxing location for team building; ideal for your next corporate retreat...

The Swan at Streatley 

To start, we have this typical countryside hotel in Streatley, Berkshire and to give you a boost of new year wellbeing, immerse yourself in a 90-minute yoga class to bring balance and mind to your body. This can be a two-hour workshop to reflect and reset as a team and a great way to incorporate new habits for the year ahead. This can then be followed by a relaxing lunch and some drinks at the cocktail bar if you wish. The Swan can also offer Paddle Board lessons as a perfect team building option. As The Swan love to focus on physical and mental wellbeing, this unique experience can ease the stresses of a hectic workday and build up positivity as a team for the year ahead. If you’re feeling brave, you may want to take part in a wild swimming experience ‘Swim with Jo’ - a 45-minute session that will most definitely clear your mind and body and create an overall detox for your team.

Barnett Hill Hotel

A tranquil luxury 4-star hotel located in the suburbs of Guildford; Surrey could be your next team getaway, with lots of activities to throw yourself into to get your January health kick underway. Set in the countryside, Barnett Hill has some beautiful views of the Surrey Hills to explore, a perfect place to enjoy the fresh air and picturesque scenery. As well as this, there is a well-known cycling route over the Surrey Hills, through old woodlands and taking you through some of the highest points in Surrey which can be a great activity to burn some calories, get your sweat on, and have you feeling good and refreshed. 

At the heart of our 26 acre estate lies a beautiful south-facing lawn, partitioned by an immaculately landscaped hedge for optimum privacy. Perfect for team building activities including inflatables, human table football and 'It's a Knockout' style games, the south lawn isn't the only place to bond as a team. Their very own woodland walks offer the perfect opportunity to relax and explore, and the unbeatable views over the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are sure to inspire.

Birch 

Our final recommended out of town venue , following on from their stunning countryside location in Hertfordshire, Birch have decided to widen their brand by opening their second hotel in Surrey this year. We hope you are as excited as we are to discover what the 17th-century mansion has to offer. To give you an insight into the activities that they have available we have provided some from Birch in Hertfordshire. Reset, Recharge, and Rekindle, what a great way to start the new year by experiencing a treatment to remember from Thai Massages to Reflexology followed by a soak-up and detox in the sauna with your team. Alongside this, there are special workshops such as nutrition masterclasses, reiki sessions, pottery classes and New Moon ceremonies which are all activities that focus on recharging the mind and body as well as making you feel more relaxed and motivated for the year ahead.
