Step into Spring at Westerlands
Leave the rush behind. At Westerlands, time softens, the air feels lighter, and spring unfolds in gentle colours.
Spring is a season of bright beginnings — a sudden unfurling of life and possibility. As the landscape shakes off winter, so do we. At Westerlands, we’re opening new spaces, sharing fresh stories, and creating new ways to gather and grow together as a community. We can’t wait to welcome you in.
Slow down and reconnect with what matters—fresh air, open spaces and just the sound of wildlife, no urban noise.
Joy to Behold in Every Season
Stay through the seasons, four times a year (2 nights per season) and take in the beauty of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter here at Westerlands. Return to the familiar comfort of the same property, or choose to stay somewhere new each time! You’ll enjoy a Wellness Hamper, a tailored seasonal experience and Horsebox Café tokens as our gift to you.
Open fields and endless skies invite a shift in perspective — a wider view that unlocks clarity, creativity and purpose.
Escape the Ordinary
Looking for a unique setting for your next offsite or team gathering?
Set within 500 acres of regenerative farmland and a thriving nature reserve, with sweeping views across the South Downs National Park, Westerlands offers a unique destination for extraordinary events. A place to breathe, restore and think expansively.
Here, teams and leaders find something rare — the chance to truly reconnect with their vision and one another.
And because good work deserves good rest, our private chefs can prepare seasonal, home‑cooked meals for you using produce from the farm. After a day spent connecting and creating, you’ll settle into shepherds’ huts, cabins or larger cottages for a deep, unhurried night’s sleep.
Woodfired meals by Stella and Griff bring teams together al fresco — where exceptional food inspires great conversation.
Freedom to Make it Your Own
Tailor your offsite with unforgettable experiences:
• Riding or reflective sessions at our Equestrian Centre • WildSpa sauna and cold‑water plunge • WildFit outdoor team games • WildSanctuary treatments • WildFlow yoga and pilates
These elements make every gathering memorable and genuinely different. A bespoke offsite shaped around your team’s goals.
Teamwork, challenges, and laughs — The Downland Games in action at Westerlands.
Introducing: The Waterlands Room
We’re delighted to unveil The Waterlands Room, our newest space for gatherings of every kind.

This light-filled botanical room was once an indoor swimming pool. It's name pays tribute to the fertile plains and natural springs that inspired Westerlands' ancient name "The Water Lands". Now lovingly redesigned as a creative space that features it's own Water Bar, serving fresh water sourced from our own natural springs on the South Downs.
Full of character and tranquility, it’s ideal for:
• Team & Leadership Retreats
• Strategy, Training & Conferences
• Networking & Corporate Events
• Launches, Showcases & Exhibitions
• Celebrations & Community Gatherings
• Festive Seasonal Dining
With space for up to 80 seated or 100 standing guests, this versatile setting adapts brilliantly to all types of events and gatherings.
The Waterlands Room is available for events from April 2026
WildRoots. Help Us Grow. From the Ground Up 🌿
Delivering on our mission to democratise access to nature for all, we are excited to share our plans for a new community garden space at Westerlands.
Meet our WildRoots Guides: Harriet (right), a horticulturist passionate about gut health, and Libbie (left), an expert in creative outdoor learning for children. Together, they form the heart of the WildRoots community.
Guided by Harriet from Foraged Hope and Libbie from Timbernook (above), our WildRoots team are busily shaping plans for the garden, building on the principles of nature recovery and soil restoration.
We need your help to bring the Good Gut Garden to life. A space where biodiversity, herbs, vegetables and people grow together.
Once a stallion box, this building begins a new chapter as our WildRoots Clubhouse, a welcoming space for the team.
