Two-Night Experience
Designed for teams who are looking to make a difference to the mental and physical wellbeing of their team through an extended stay off grid in nature.
A two night stay at The Forge gives you a whole day to focus on your objectives and without having to worry about packing up or travelling anywhere. Use the first evening to wind down and relax, hit your goals hard on the second day, and leave after an energising activity on the second morning, ready to take on the world.
Overview
You really get to know someone after you've spent a couple of days sleeping under canvas and swapping the TV for a campfire and a bag of marshmallows. When you stay for two nights at The Forge, there is a slight festival vibe as if you have created your own village, but one where everyone still has their own space and find their own peace and quiet if they need to.
This is our optimal formula for a two-night retreat but we are always very happy to switch things out and around to accommodate your goals.
