Group Events

We wholeheartedly believe that for teams of all sorts from all kinds of businesses, Westerlands offers a chance to escape the humdrum, get out of the office, address core business challenges, and reveal new opportunities. So, we invite you to join us and share our beautiful home, in the knowledge that this experience could transform your approach to building success for your business and team.

The way this actually works is highly flexible

We can co-facilitate with you, or leave you to it, or anything in between that will help you deliver memorable sessions that will lead to outstanding work.

Team building away days

We create agendas that allow people to get together, re-connect and share their values and hopes for their workplaces. We’ve found this especially effective since covid – where many teams are still yet to all meet in person.
Strategy or briefing sessions

Equally, if your agency or brand team needs to hold an inspiration session, or if your leadership team needs time out to breathe and take big decisions – we know that nature has an amazing power to help us think with clarity.
Rural retreats

Sometimes what’s needed is a change of scene… perhaps some country pursuits? An amazing dinner either al fresco or more formally? Time away from the office to rest and recharge batteries?

We have 550 acres of space here and this allows us to tailor an event or a day exactly to your requirements.

From poetry or art sessions on the South Downs, to clay pigeon shooting, to team-building challenges, to strategy sessions….

From black-tie dinners to outdoor feasts, from foraging to cocktail-making…

We think we can cover most activities you could think of.

An example of what we do best

We like the challenge of helping you deliver more or less whatever you’d like to – but here’s a recent example of a day out we put together for a team of 15, which shows our main strengths:

A welcome coffee at our campsite and an introduction to the day
Foraging / discovery walk and talk.
A ride onto the South Downs followed by a hike and learning about the wildlife, flora and fauna etc we’re blessed with. During this the team were challenged to think about their own work (and life) values.
Family-style on the terrace at one of our properties on site.
A delicious, healthy lunch in an informal and easy-going environment.
A session around the lunch table, facilitated by us. This team shared very honest views on their strategy going forward, what they wanted the company to be, and personal values etc.
Gardening, beekeeping demonstration and beehive-making. The team decided to plan, design and execute a garden space of their own, which will remain on site for them to visit whenever they like.
Held at Woodfire – a very special outdoor grill experience with our camping partners onsite.

Freedom Racing

Wow! What a day! The rain, the mud, the hills, the sunshine, the smiles, the laughter, the finish line joy, we had it all and then some! We loved Westerlands… a stunning location, generous hosts and Emma’s Horsebox Café was the perfect start/finish point.

The Copy Club

Spark Fest was our first ever marketing festival. Seeing everyone connect, swap ideas, support each other and offer advice… that was truly special ✨. We have to say a huge thank you to Westerlands and Wood Fire Camping for providing both a location and lunch we could have only dreamed of.
