The venue sleeps up to 10 guests in individual bedrooms across beautifully appointed shepherd's huts, a gypsy caravan and spacious bell tents, giving everyone their own private space to unwind. Twin-share bell tents allow groups of up to 15, while indoor and outdoor meeting spaces accommodate up to 30 delegates, complete with solar-powered AV and flexible breakout areas.

 

Nature sits at the heart of every experience. Teams can choose from yoga, woodland sauna, wild swimming, forest bathing, mindful walks, foraging and bushcraft, or take part in hands-on conservation activities including tree planting, woodland management and wetland restoration. These experiences can be woven into your agenda to strengthen collaboration, develop leadership and problem-solving skills, or bring your CSR and environmental commitments to life through meaningful action.

 

For teams seeking deeper development, activities can be tailored around your business objectives, using immersive outdoor scenarios that challenge communication, decision-making and leadership in ways that translate directly back to the workplace.

 

Exceptional food is an integral part of every stay. A private chef prepares fresh, locally sourced meals tailored to all dietary requirements, from hearty breakfasts and shared lunches to evening barbecues, wood-fired pizzas, sharing feasts or bespoke three-course dinners. Snacks and refreshments are available throughout to keep energy levels high.

 

Hosting your event at The Forge means investing in your people while supporting local conservation projects and the rural economy. It's a refreshing alternative to the traditional conference venue—where business objectives, team engagement and the restorative power of nature work seamlessly together
