Surrey Hills Yurts - Corporate

Team-building exercises come in many different forms. You might find yourself building a bridge from barrels and planks, for example. Or you may even find yourself attempting to carry one of your party on a large piece of wood. What you probably won’t find at most venues is a comfortable, luxurious yurt to spend the night in.

Surry Hills Yurts – as you might have guessed from the name – has this and much, much more. If you like the sound of a bucolic, unique getaway for your team only an hour from the heart of London, the chances are you’ll love what we’ve got to offer.

Archery, Yoga and Weaving

At Surrey Hills Yurts, we like to offer something a little different. We pride ourselves on providing a relaxing, engaging and varied experience that covers everything from outdoor cooking to archery. We’re available for exclusive hire and can cater for 30 – 50 adults at any one time, so you can bring the whole team!

We have a broad range of rural crafts and activities on offer, including willow weaving, archery workshops, archery tag, foraging, walking on fire/glass, guided walks of the beautiful Surrey Hills, guided mountain biking and yoga retreats, and that’s just the start. We also offer art classes, cocktail-making classes, outdoor cooking experiences and the chance to take a ride on our heavy horse and cart. We like to think we combine the best of country living and team-building activities, creating a bonding experience for all.

We like to create an environment that fosters creativity and helps people bond. We find the best way to do this is to immerse our visitors in a range of activities, taking inspiration from beautiful, serene surroundings to create something unlike any other getaway.

At Day’s End

After a day of immersing yourself in activities and group bonding, it’s time for our unique, locally sourced hospitality to come into play.

We work with a local artisan catering company to provide amazing food, with impeccable levels of service and presentation. We also offer a tasting session for locally-produced wine, gin, beer and cheese, so you can sample the real tastes of the Surrey countryside. If that’s not enough to sate your appetite, we also have a cocktail-making class, where you can learn the secrets of mixology. Or just use the experience to enjoy a range of different concoctions after a long day – the choice is yours!

After a day of foraging, archery, weaving and walking, you can retire to your luxury yurt. Sleeping either four or six people, all of our yurts come with the comforts and amenities you need and there’s nothing quite so relaxing as sleeping in this most ancient of structures.

Make your summer team-building day a success with Surrey Hills Yurts

Let’s face it, the sun puts us all in a better mood. The days are brighter, warmer and longer and we all tend to be a little happier. Is it any wonder that summer makes a great time to arrange a corporate team-building day at Surrey Hills Yurts?

Thanks to our enviable location in the beautiful Surrey Hills, just one hour outside of London, you’ll find nature in abundance when you visit us with your team in the summer months. With wildflowers and green blossoming everywhere, it’s a serene, relaxing location where everyone can let go of distractions and focus on building stronger bonds, improving communication and developing trust – with no office walls, desks or harsh neon lighting required!

Aside from getting back to nature and helping everyone unwind and get on that bit better, here are just a few of the ways to make your summer team-building day a success this year

Get participant buy-in

For a team-building day to be successful, you need everyone to be fully engaged and happy to be there. Getting buy-in doesn’t have to be a massive chore either, you just need everyone to be open-minded and willing to have a day away from their to-do lists.

To make things easy, we suggest a group email inviting the required team members to attend a fun, invigorating day in the beautiful Surrey Hills. Outline the activities planned for the day and pinpoint the benefits to team members. Will they come away working better as a unit, with new skills, stronger bonds, better communication or just more relaxed after working hard? Make them eager to participate by spelling out what the benefit is to them

Introduce the location

Because our location is naturally so picturesque, we find that many teams really look forward to escaping the office and being out in the fresh air and wonderful scenery we’re blessed with. Share a link to our website and highlight the breathtaking location along with our facilities

Create a schedule for the day

Of course, you want to make the most of your team-building day so it helps to plan. Don’t try and fit too much in. Think about what your desired outcome is after a day with us and try and focus on that specific objective. Our range of team building dayactivities is diverse – from archery and foraging to yoga, outdoor cooking classes, woodland feast experiences, axe throwing to fire walking, paddle boarding to cocktail making, you are spoilt for choice. Most activities are suitable for everyone but, if you have special considerations, we’re here to help and can help you devise a suitable itinerary, select appropriate team activities and advise you on what to choose to help you achieve your desired outcomes for the day.

Don’t forget the importance of fuel!

You want everyone to be fully engaged in the day’s activities so remember you’ll need to leave a good chunk of time to eat through the day. We can take care of all food and refreshments, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you’re staying overnight with us to get off the grid and reinvigorate your team, we can even arrange for a private chef to cook for you a Woodland Feast, adding a real sense of luxury to your occasion.

We’d love to help you make your team-building event a success, whether you want to get back to nature for the day or lose yourself in our hidden corner of beautiful Surrey for a couple of days, experiencing our full range of fun activities, delicious food and awesome accommodation for yourself.
