When it comes to planning a corporate retreat near London, choosing the right venue is just the beginning. At Elsewhere, we curate and operate unique locations — from creative campuses to historic coaching inns - designed to unlock team potential and create unforgettable shared moments. Explore our top picks, all within 2 hours of London, and discover how a great offsite can move your team forward

Teams are rethinking the end-of-year celebration. Instead of noisy bars and tired traditions, they’re choosing Christmas retreats — a more meaningful, connected way to close the year.

At Elsewhere, we don’t just plan retreats. We design energy shifts — powered by clarity, connection, and creativity. Here’s what that really means to us.

Once upon a time, people bought features. Then outcomes. Now? They buy how it feels to enter your world. Experience isn’t a bonus. It’s the product.

At Elsewhere, we design retreats that invite teams to feel first, think second. When you stop forcing connection and start flowing together, real collaboration comes alive.

True offsites begin with space - space to breathe, space to reconnect, space to remember. At Elsewhere, we create environments where teams can slow down, realign, and discover new energy together - simply by allowing what already lives within them to unfold.

When you think back to the best offsites you’ve ever experienced, chances are, it’s not the agenda you remember most clearly. It’s not even the activities or the catering. It’s a feeling. A kind of ease. A sense of natural connection - with yourself, with your team, with the bigger picture you’re part of.

What does it mean to truly Do You - and Go Elsewhere? A call to the ones ready to leave the noise behind and build from truth.

We’re living through a massive shift in how people choose who to work with, who to follow, and who to trust. The playbooks built on pipelines, funnels, and transactions are collapsing - not because they don’t work anymore, but because people don’t feel anything when they do.

Most companies think of offsites as one-off events - a reset, a celebration, or a much-needed escape from the everyday. But for companies that are scaling fast, leading teams through change, or nurturing high-performing cultures, one-off isn’t enough. That’s why a growing number of forward-thinking organisations are choosing to build something different.

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.
