With fast paced lives and growing awareness of the importance of maintaining mental health, finding a little time for self-care is vital. Working with venues in Windsor, London’s Country Estate, meeting and event organisers can confidently build in healthy activities, nutritious food and relaxation periods to balance work and wellbeing. Combined with spaces of natural light and outdoor access, encourage delegates to let go of their demanding schedules and enjoy a stress-free event.
Unwind and Clear your Mind at DeVere Beaumont estate, where the leisure options include round-the-clock gym facilities, heated pool and yoga classes, tennis and squash courts. There are several nearby running trails or take a 10-minute walk to the Magna Carta memorials through 40 acres of beautiful parkland.
Explore the Grounds at Oakley Court, where the 33-acre estate is covered in trails and walks. Every bedroom comes equipped with a handy lanyard map enabling delegates to take a mini trek nature trail to see the hedgehog homes and bird houses, wander around 150-year-old trees or take a photo selfie with driftwood sculptures.
Taste the difference with light bites, fine dining, plant based and free-from menu options increasingly popular choices for delegates. The creative teams of chefs at venues like Ascot and The Compleat Angler offer careful crafted bespoke menus to cover healthy eating and dietary choices.
Dedicated lounges and quiet areas with comfortable seating and large windows giving views across Windsor Great Park are features of historic Cumberland Lodge and are perfect spaces to take five, reflect and gather your thoughts.
A breath of fresh air is always welcome. The Olde Bell, Hurley is just one of the venues where meeting spaces open up into private gardens or terraces which are perfect for lunches, pre-dinner drinks and team building activities.
Moments of Calm Spa treatments are perfect for mentally unwinding as more specialist treatments incorporate mindfulness. The Runnymede has introduced a Calm and Relax spa experience to the complement other therapies and treatment options.
English Country Gardens offer tranquil areas of respite for delegates to enjoy. Designed by the pioneering horticulturalist, Gertrude Jekyll, Coworth Park grounds include a Romantic rose garden, Sunken garden, Croquet lawn and ten-acre wildflower meadow.
Add a fun twist. Team building sessions available at Cliveden include giving back to the community with Bike Build, a 2½ hour challenge to gain the knowledge and build a bike, or On Board, a 2-hour challenge mixing street cred, art and common sense.
Messing about on the River is the perfect backdrop for events of all sizes. There are lunch, afternoon tea and dinner cruises available on French Brothers passenger boats operating from Runnymede, Windsor and Maidenhead.
