Exclusively for the first two months of 2016, Hedsor House will launch midweek 'Head Start At Hedsor' packages for corporate groups searching for a unique board retreat, an out-of-the-ordinary conference or a day of inspirational team building exercises. Equally suitable for a peaceful or lively getaway for a group of friends resolving to simply have more fun together in 2016, the house provides the idyllic setting for both making and breaking New Year's resolutions.
Only 45 minutes from central London and 15 miles from London Heathrow Airport, Hedsor is a whole world away from the bustle of the city. Thanks to its diverse events spaces, its brand new bedrooms and the 100 acres of surrounding historic parkland, Hedsor is able to offer an unforgettable one of a kind experience.
Team Activities In A Veritable Playground:
Ensure 2016 goes off with a bang with a rewarding team experiences. Country pursuits are plentiful: Guests can try their hand at cannon ball firing on the sweeping lawns or take on a treasure hunt in the 'Oaken Grove', allowing a great opportunity for company staff to get to know each other better, especially consultants and freelancers who work remotely or part-time. Orienteering, clay pigeon shooting, archery, fishing or quad bike riding can be coordinated, and for thrill seekers the ground's 4x4 track is the ultimate adrenaline-filled experience.
Personal trailers are available for private or group military fitness sessions in the grounds, setting you up with the best intentions for turning over that new leaf. If the weather is not playing ball, energy-boosting indoor workouts can be booked including Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi, leaving participants feeling strong, sculpted and totally revitalised.
For those wishing to make rather than break resolutions watercolour-painting classes, taught by a local artist, take place in the house's Boudoir room. Wine, port and cheese tastings as well as film-making classes can be booked too, enabling guests to learn a new skill and expand their knowledge during their visit.
Working with a number of recommended partners, Hedsor is able to deliver any number of desired team activities, however weird and wonderful! Clients are guaranteed two important things - privacy and freedom, and are not shackled by any outside influences.
Sharpen Your Pencils, Back To Your Desks:

Notes To Editors: Hedsor House is an award-winning country house weddings and events venue with eleven newly refurbished bedrooms, set within 100 acres of historic parkland and Grade II listed gardens in Buckinghamshire, 26 miles from Central London and 15 miles from Heathrow Airport.
Following a fascinating 800-year history and decades as the family seat of the Shephard Family, the beautiful Georgian house underwent an extensive renovation and restoration project to be reborn as private events venue in 2008.
Under the dynamic leadership of brothers Nick, Mark and Hamish Shephard the estate has gone on to achieve outstanding success, becoming one of the UK's most prestigious conference, meeting and events venues in just a few short years, achieving accolades such as Tatler's No.1 Top Venue and Eventia Awards Event Venue of the Year.
Hedsor House has hosted a remarkable range of high profile events and become known as a 'playground for partygoers'. Clients include a veritable 'who's who' of huge global brands and celebrities – Mark Ronson famously held his lavish birthday here.
