Team Away Days

Bring your team for a break from screens and remote working - connect with your team in the natural surroundings of this 60 acre woodland with views to the South Downs.

We can provide hot drinks and sweet treats from The Hatch. You can bring your own picnic or cook up a BBQ (or we can recommend local caterers to take on that job!).

Get involved with woodland activities such as bush-craft, forestry, ecology, timber building, foraging, meditation, woodland art, pottery and forest bathing.

We are just 40 minutes from Brighton, Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells and roughly 90 minutes drive from central London.

'this is the best team day I've had since working in the NHS (and some of us have been around for a long time!!!).’

‘Nikwax & Páramo chose Wilderness Wood for our company summer event and we were highly impressed with everything. The owners were simply brilliant at helping us organise an afternoon that would suit our needs. Their suggestions for outdoor activities were perfect - with everything from meditation to bushcraft - providing our staff the opportunity to select something that they could each engage with. The location suited us perfectly – it was a great opportunity to get closer to nature and away from our desks, whilst spending time with our colleagues in a fun and relaxed environment. Based at The Cookhouse for the afternoon, it provided a unique environment for everyone to enjoy – relax near the central firepit, have a walk around the beautiful woodland, and just enjoy being outdoors. It is a venue we would highly recommend if you desire something that bit different for some team building.
