Finally a venue run by people like you! Sophie Grenville Baring spent many years as a meeting facilitator and management consultant, always searching for the ideal place to host her next workshop, strategy meeting or leadership off-site. As a result, she’s made sure her own venues offer that elusive combination of efficiency and inspiration that really helps focus conversations. Both Abbotstone Barn (a specifically designed off-site space) and The Grange Hampshire (a semi-derelict neo-classical mansion with a plush 590-seat auditorium and its own vineyard) have access to fabulous untrammelled countryside, cottages for overnight stays, and a farmhouse with drawing rooms and a sturdy kitchen table for breakout sessions by the AGA.  The in-house caterer specialises in generous, unfussy food made from locally-sourced ingredients, rustling up anything from a vibrant salad, soup and sandwich lunch to a proper afternoon tea, delicious three-course dinner, or delicate canapés to go with the estate’s own sparkling wine. 

The team offer a range of team-building exercises grounded in the heritage of the estate and its sustainable focus
