Invigorating and refreshing away days for busy teams
West Lexham offers a space for stimulation, connection and inspiration for busy executive teams. This year we have hosted groups from partners such as WWF, The Institute for Chartered Accountants, Finance Innovation Lab and Unltd, in groups from 5 to 25 people.
Teams come to West Lexham to stimulate fresh, out-of-the-box thinking and seeking opportunities to reconnect with nature, a chance to shake off their office habits and connect as people. They go away refreshed and inspired with a renewed sense of purpose.
To keep morale, productivity and energy levels high over a working retreat we offer a unique range of break-out activities. We can put together a bespoke package comprised of hands-on challenges such as sustainable building and organic gardening, wellbeing boosts like yoga and massage, or skill development and coaching opportunities. There’s even the option to learn circus skills, spinning and weaving or try out beekeeping.

Why West Lexham?
“The best thing about West Lexham was the beauty of the place – both in aesthetics and its generous spirit”
Charlotte Millar, Change Team - Sustainable Consumption, WWF
“West Lexham was the perfect venue for our weekend retreat. The dynamic social hub in the middle of the beautiful Norfolk countryside set the tone for the gathering, and allowed fruitful discussions to emerge. The theme of transformation runs throughout the scenery and the dedicated West Lexham team.”
Casper Ter Kuile, Co-Founder UK Youth Climate Coalition
"West Lexham is more than just a great venue for team retreats. It provides a philosophy based on holistic learning, and fosters an ethos of collaborative spirit. Think creative spaces for harnessing your vision; invigorating walks in the grounds to encourage down to earth clarity of mind; and swimming in the lake to reinvigorate your soul! "
Kirsty Schneeberger MBE, Director, Think2050
“Every time I come back to London from West Lexham I feel completely refreshed from my London life. Whether we end up making furniture, taking walks on the beach, murder mysteries or playing croquet on the lawn, I always have magical and long lasting memories to come back with.”
Daniel Ferro, Friends of the Earth
“The best things about my West Lexham experience…The sun, the moon, the water, the people, the place, the food, the hulahoops and the tranquillity J”

“Being here was a wonderful adventure of stepping away from the frenzy and the everyday worries and getting in touch with myself, great people, great ideas and new ways of doing things.”
