Corporate Away Days & Retreats in Rural Dorset

Across two private estates, we bring together modern workspaces, wild landscapes, incredible dining and world-class equestrian facilities.

What We Offer

Across two private estates, we bring together modern workspaces, wild landscapes, incredible dining and world-class equestrian facilities. It's everything your team needs for a day or weekend of clear thinking, good food and fresh energy.

A modern rural estate built for teams who like to do things differently.

9,000 Acres Set Over Two Counties

Not a hotel. Not a conference centre. A modern countryside playground.

Why It Matters

Away from emails and everyday noise, teams reset faster, think clearer and connect better.

Nature, movement, great food and open space create the headspace people need to plan, reflect and come back sharper.

The Workspace

The Workspace

Bright, calm and beautifully simple, Hinton Workspace is designed for clear thinking and purposeful sessions. The countryside surrounds you, helping teams switch into a better gear from the moment they arrive.

A modern workspace, rooted in rural quiet.

Wood Lane Yard

Wood Lane Yard

Five-time Olympian and former World Number One William Fox-Pitt has built a career on world-class teamwork. William now leads workshops that translate the principles of elite sport directly into business, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what high performance really takes.

Teamwork, trust and instinct. The Fox-Pitt way.

Larmer Tree Gardens

Larmer Tree Gardens

Created in the 1880s for creativity and pleasure, Larmer Tree feels other-worldly. Ornate buildings, sunlit lawns, woodland, peacocks and open-air beauty. It's a setting that elevates any gathering, from large lunches and team building events to team dinners in the light-filled Pavilion.

Historic gardens with modern magic.

Rushmore Golf

Rushmore Golf

Set within one of the most stunning landscapes of Southern England, high on the chalk of the Cranborne Chase in Wiltshire, Rushmore Golf Club provides year-round golf on free-draining turf. A thoroughly modern 18-hole course set in beautiful, ancient parkland.

One of the best golf courses in the region.

Dining

Choose from the White Horse, King John's House, the Tithe Barn or Larmer Tree Gardens. Wherever you choose, the food stays local, seasonal and generous.

From intimate pub dinners for 20, to beautifully catered evenings at King John House, to large-scale feasts at The Tithe Barn or Larmer Tree for 100 and well beyond.

Seasonal canapés and fine food at Rivers Estate

Eat well, feel good, connect naturally.

Stay With Us

Stay in Hinton St Mary village cottages, just a stone's throw from Hinton Workspace, The Tithe Barn and Wood Lane Yard. For bigger groups, we partner with Plumber Manor near Hinton.

We also have estate bedrooms at King John House to sleep 13, or high-end glamping at Larmer Tree for a really different experience. Mornings feel softer here — birdsong, fresh air, and a pace that helps people return refreshed.
