The Woodland Retreat

"helping teams see things differently"

Bringing your team to our Woodland Retreat, nestled beneath the South Downs in Hampshire, offers a unique and exclusive base to help you build connections within your team or re-think your business strategy or leadership.

A Woodland Retreat can be run in many forms, all of which will enhance your Team Building and Team Development.  Please  drop us an email or go to the Event Design form to let us know what you want to achieve.

If you can't manage an overnight experience, you can book the site for a day or evening of activity.

If you are staying over, you will be sleeping on very comfortable camp beds in roomy Bell Tents.  You will have the site (1/2 a mile from civilisation) completely to yourself.

building a team at meon springs, the wilderness way...

As you know, when your team is functioning well all sorts of magic can happen. And when it is not, business stops flowing, people leave and work becomes a drag.

Although there are many opportunities to build your team at work, there is nothing better than taking them out of their normal environment to work together on something different and unique. 

A Woodland Retreat is a truly unique environment in which you are working with nature and learning new practical skills. But on another level, you're also developing leadership skills, building relationships, and nurturing a new level of understanding.

Designed as practical and interactive, this experience will introduce your team to key outdoor skills that will require you to listen, communicate, self-manage, delegate and negotiate. 

All our experiences are fully catered and come complete with all cooking utensils, kettles, wood for the fire.  There are natural ovens, tables stools and places to prepare food.

Also, you have compost loos, with the most amazing view and hot showers.
