Why go offsite
An onsite is a meeting. An offsite is a catalyst.
Away from the office, people can give the work and each other their full attention. That changes what two days together can achieve.
Connection
A proper chance to get to know each other as people.
Focus
A quiet countryside retreat, with space to focus and no distractions.
Perspective
Space away from the day to day to see the year ahead clearly.
What the venue needs to deliver
The right setting makes the work better.
Real character and charm
Somewhere memorable and warm, not another corporate hotel.
Easy to reach from London
A straightforward journey that gets everyone out of the city without losing half a day.
Our recommendation: stay in the UK
Keep the travel light. Put the time into the team.
01
The team is already here
Most of the team is UK-based. Once flights are added, any overseas saving quickly disappears.
02
January pricing is strong
January is down-season in the UK, which gives us access to better venue rates.
03
More time together
Less time in airports and transfers means more useful time with the whole team in one place.
If you would prefer the heat of the Canaries, let us know and we can develop that proposal instead.

The venue shortlist
Three properties, all within reach of the office.
All three are available for 6 to 8 January. Each one is set up for residential events like this one. Exact pricing is to be finalised for all three venues.
Sutton Scotney, Hampshire
Norton Park
1 hr 40 by coach · direct from London
The value option, and the most flexible commercially.
Why this one
A 175-room estate with proper grounds, room to spread out, and a barn that gives Wednesday night its own setting.
What to know
Straightforward and well set up for a group this size, with the main room and Wednesday's barn both on site.
Steventon, Oxfordshire
Milton Hill House
1 hr 25 by coach · direct from London
Lovely grounds, quality working space, and a strong price.
Why this one
A Georgian manor where all 90 people can sit at tables comfortably, with private dining, a bar and the pool all included.
What to know
Comfortable and well run, more smart hotel than old country house, and under an hour and a half by coach.
Hatfield Heath, Essex
Down Hall
1 hr 10 by coach · direct from London
The premium option, with real style and quality throughout.
Why this one
An Italianate house in 110 acres and the closest of the three to London, with the strongest arrival of the lot.
What to know
The most premium of the three, and the setting and shortest journey are what you're paying for.
Prices excl. of VAT.
