We can organise guest speakers on a range of different topics to enhance your retreat. This could range from motivational speakers sharing their experience of overcoming extraordinary physical challenges, to experts in AI and the impact this will have on your business.

We can provide experienced workshop facilitators to help you design and run sessions during your retreat at The Forge. Our team have experience creating interactive agendas ensuring that you meet your team objectives using the unique spaces available in nature to enhance and deepen the experience for participants.

Do good while doing business. If ESG goals are important to you, why not do your bit for the environment by getting involved in our rewilding project where you can plant a tree, help restore native woodland and wetland habitat, and learn about how to minimise your own impact. We invite you to become stewards of our land during your retreat and make a real contribution to the natural world, whilst also achieving your own objectives from your time away from the office.

Use the power of hot and cold therapy in our wild swimming pool and sauna to both heighten your senses and focus, and calm and relax the mind. The sauna is a great leveller where hierarchies, issues, and mobile phones are left at the door and many fascinating discussions and ideas often come about. The perfect way to kick off a retreat or as a prelude to a deep dive workshop.

Try your hand at lighting a fire by rubbing two sticks together, or baking your own bread over the campfire. Our bushcraft experiences are designed to provide a mental focus by immersing you in activities that tap into your primal memory and can also be woven into leadership and team building scenarios where transferable skills can be applied in a real context.

A calm mind is a creative mind. Treat your team to a yoga session incorporating breathwork and meditation to centre the mind and provide an overwhelming sense of peace and calm. This is the perfect way to start or end a day of deep focus and workshops, for example. We can also offer sound baths which trigger the parasympathetic nervous system through noise vibrations to create a deep sense of relaxation.

Experience the thrill of white water rafting down the mighty River Dee for a rush you will never forget. You can also try your hand at river bugging (Google it), gorge walking and canoeing over the terrifyingly vertiginous Pontcysyllte aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage site. These activities can provide the perfect energy boost for your team and encourage team connection through overcoming fears and living an adrenalin fuelled adventure together.
