You’ll be well catered for during your visit, adds Steph: “We can do anything from grazing boards for mid-meeting lunches, to a hog-roast barbecue or three-course meal. We also work with a collective of food trucks from Cambridge, who cater for events and weddings here. They have such a wide range available that there’s bound to be something to suit every taste.” For Stuart, companies are seeing the benefits of taking a pause from the daily grind and escaping the office for a couple of days. “I think there’s a real incentive, post-pandemic, to get everybody in one place at an environment where people can relax and socialise together,” he observes. “It makes a real difference getting people outside in the fresh air and in beautiful surroundings – it puts you in a different mindset. We’ve worked with many creative businesses that say this environment can help stimulate lots of interesting ideas, inspiring conversations that wouldn’t happen in the office ordinarily.” Whatever you’re looking for, Horsley Hale Farm will be happy to provide, adds Stuart. “There’s always a team of people here to lend a hand, making sure it goes off without a hitch.” For more info, visit horsleyhalefarm.co.uk, or call 01353 361470 to find out how Horsley Hale Farm can accommodate your team

You can even arrange to hold your very own company sports day! In the evenings, enjoy glamping activities like barbecuing or sitting round the campfire roasting marshmallows, before retreating to the confines of your tent, tipi or safari lodge for a good night’s sleep.
