1. Mercedes-Benz World
If you want to align your corporate away day to a high-end brand, Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge is ideal. Its conference facilities are excellent, plus driving experiences and team-building activities can also be arranged for a really stimulating experience. The very stylish Brooklands Hotel is just a quick walk away – perfect for if you’re planning to extend the away day into an overnighter.
2. Thorpe Park
Now this would be a refreshingly different place for an away day.

It’s big enough for up to 600 participants; just think of how much fun there is to be had when everyone is let loose on the rides!
3. Painshill Park
The beautiful Painshill Park in Cobham is just minutes off the A3 and is a wonderful step back into 18th century grandeur and elegance. If you need to combine your away day with meetings, there are various event spaces available. And if you want to base your day outside, there are 158 acres of stunning grounds.
4. Loseley Park
Loseley Park has it all – history and heritage, a stunning location, beautiful house and extensive grounds, all the facilities you might need and access to a range of team-building activities that can be run on site. At this venue the day can be tailored to whatever you need.
5. Great Fosters
Great Fosters, near Windsor, has a great range of rooms that work brilliantly whether you’re a small group of 10 or need space for 120 people to attend. Dating back over 400 years, Great Fosters was once a grand home that became a hotel back in the 1930s. It sits within grounds covering 50 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to incorporate outdoor activities into the day.
