Firesyde - Exclusive-Hire Nature Venue, 1 hour from London
Nestled on a private estate among rolling hills on the Surrey/Sussex border, Firesyde is a collection of meticulously designed Wild Lodges, characterful farmhouses and a series of Wild Spaces - an exclusive-hire venue for teams seeking to think clearly, reconnect and be restored by nature, one hour from London.
Launched in 2024, Firesyde offers a new vision for corporate retreats: immersive yet deeply comfortable, and led by the belief that nature is the ideal backdrop of breakthrough ideas and team connection. Days are spent between the Piglet Barn - a beautifully converted farm barn with a fireplace centrepiece, 75-inch screen, full AV and flexible seating - and breakout spaces in nature: the Wild Gardens (part of the National Garden Scheme), the Wild Mini Spa with micro sauna and cold plunge, the pergola, and nature trails through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty bordering the National Trust's Winkworth Arboretum. Evenings gather around the fire - chestnut roasting, candlelit dining, lantern-lit walks to the hilltop for stargazing.
Capacity
Overnight retreats for 10-50 guests, with day events for up to 200 guests across the grounds, Piglet Barn and Wild Spaces.
Accommodation
Exclusive hire sleeps guests in single-occupancy king rooms across the en-suite Wild Lodges (each with fire pit, outdoor dining and private outdoor bath) and twins and kings across our farmhouses - Langhurst and Slades Farmhouses.
Spaces
At the heart of the venue sits the Piglet Barn - a converted farm barn with a roaring fireplace, 75-inch screen and AV, shifting effortlessly from strategy sessions to candlelit dining. Around it unfold the Wild Gardens, the Wild Mini Spa with sauna and cold plunge, the pergola with its Camp Kytchen, and lawns or spaces in nature to breakout further.
Food & Drink
Breakfast, lunch and dinner built around locally sourced, seasonally inspired menus, tailored to the group. Signature experiences include Guest Chef dinners, campfire feasts and BBQ experiences in the glow of the Piglet Barn fire.
Activities
Firesyde-led: guided sunrise hikes, yoga on the grass, foraging walks, moonlight lantern walks, evening campfires with artisanal marshmallows, sauna and cold plunge sessions. Partner-led: eBiking, clay shooting and team-building games.
Formats
Team offsites, leadership retreats, strategy days, client entertaining, and large-scale day events. Typical residential bookings run 1.5-4 days midweek.
