Set in the Norfolk countryside, Hill House is a 500-year-old retreat space reimagined for the teams shaping the future. This isn’t a corporate hotel or an outsourced event space. It’s a place of depth, energy and possibility- crafted for ambitious teams ready to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine what’s next.

If you’re planning a company retreat for 100+ people, you’ve likely already discovered the problem: most venues can’t actually handle it- not properly.

Designed from the ground up to support your business goals, they combine expert planning, immersive experiences, and seamless delivery. Here’s how to plan one that actually works.

In this post, we’ll explore why full-service corporate retreats are the future, how they differ from DIY retreats, and why investing in a bespoke, professional offsite experience is one of the smartest decisions a company can make.

Just outside London are some of the UK’s most inspiring, creative, and experience-ready spaces- and when they’re paired with the right delivery, they become something transformative.

Scaleups need space to think strategically, environments that energise teams, and partners who understand the pace and complexity of growth.

We operate full-service corporate retreats at a curated portfolio of venues, each chosen for its ability to spark clarity, connection, and creativity.

You’ve been there. You open the team calendar, block out a couple of days, start calling venues, pulling together catering quotes, thinking of activities… and suddenly your “simple” team offsite becomes a second job.

More London-based companies are heading Elsewhere, out of the city, into our offsite venues- energising spaces designed specifically to provide what teams truly need: time, connection, and clarity

Finding the right setting for your company offsite can make the difference between just another get-together and a retreat that realigns your team, sparks momentum, and sets the tone for what’s next.

At Elsewhere, we specialise in offsites that move the needle. From countryside hideaways to creative townhouses, these 9 venues offer the perfect balance of convenience and transformation.

Smaller corporate retreats create the kind of intimacy, trust, and breakthrough thinking that large-scale events often struggle to achieve.

At Elsewhere, we’ve spent years planning full-service retreats for some of the UK’s most respected teams, including Nike, Acast, Faculty and Amazon- and what we’ve seen time and again is this: if you want real change, you need to get out of the city.

At Elsewhere, we work with scaling, culture-first companies who understand that real progress happens not in back-to-back Zoom calls, but in the moments between.

Here are nine of our most original team-building experiences- each one intentionally designed to shake things up, break down barriers, and bring people together in meaningful, memorable ways.

There are so many studies that look at how to boost creativity and it’s why our best ideas rarely show up at our desks, but often appear in the shower, on a plane, or mid-hike.

We believe that where you meet shapes how you think. The traditional corporate meeting room- beige walls, fluorescent lighting, predictable layouts- often stifles creativity and limits genuine connection.

The best ideas don’t happen around a boardroom table. They happen beside a fire pit, over shared meals, during long walks in the countryside, or amidst the laughter of a team-building adventure.

Let’s break down the real costs of a corporate retreat, explore industry benchmarks, and show how Elsewhere offers a transparent, high-impact alternative that’s anything but ordinary.
