Away day with a Bang

Give your team a day they’ll actually talk about. Our corporate away day in Essex combines a morning of meetings in one of our historic spaces with an afternoon of outdoor activity on our 170-acre site, from Clay Pigeon Shooting to Axe Throwing. Refuel with a working lunch, then wind down with drinks at the end of the day. We’re just minutes from the M25 with plenty of parking on site, so it’s easy for everyone to get here.
