Corporate Mid-Week Glamping Retreats
Husband and wife team Mark and Gin Wilson-North have launched dedicated walking and glamping tours in Norfolk. The MarGins service involves set routes on the picturesque Norfolk Coast Path, with the couple setting up tents along the way and delivering food and luggage. Every day, MarGins follow their guests along the route and assemble their glamping tents ahead of their arrival in a number of participating campsites. MarGins’ three glamping tents have separate bed and living spaces and feature a padded bed with mattress topper, hot water bottles, an electric cool box and gas burner. The couple use local food and drink producers and provide their guests with a breakfast hamper with Norfolk goodies like granola, fruit, meats, bread, tea and coffee. There is also the option of an evening platter with local cured meats and cheeses with wine pairings from TFW Fine Wines.
Home Farm Glamping, London's nearest glamping site, is offering a new style of mid-week corporate event hosting for city firms. Linklaters LLP has used Home Farm Glamping, which is located in farm land in Elstree just five minutes from the end of the Jubilee and Northern Lines, as their corporate retreat, taking 60 colleagues from the city on the tube to the glamping base in Hertfordshire. Home Farm Glamping offers event space and overnight glamping for corporate retreats during April and September. With three yurts and nine bell tents on site, bbqs and campfires next to each tent, fine dining options, open air yoga classes and acres of land and forest to explore, Home Farm has become an essential escape from the city. Elisabeth Johnson, Managing Associate, Linklaters LLP, says the event was a world removed from their normal office environment. ‘We had a fantastic working event day and overnight stay at Home Farm. The journey up from the city was very easy and people had a variety of routes and options (two tube lines and the overland from Farringdon), which was really handy.”
