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 bushcraft, 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.

Recent feedback by NHS team on a well-being day:
I think we all came away feeling that we truly had experienced a wellness day, and spent time together focusing on something other than work: '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!!!).
Recent feedback by Nikwax ltd on their corporate team away day:
The activity leaders were just brilliant and already we, on the events team, have heard nothing but positive comments about it all. I have no doubt we will return for a future event! Thanks again for such a memorable day.
