A good away day takes a team somewhere they wouldn't normally go and gives them space to think differently. The Grange Hub sits in 80 acres of regenerating Welsh countryside near Abergavenny, set up for groups of up to 35 with full AV, on-site catering and as much or as little structured activity as you want.
Why The Grange for an Away Day
Most "venue with a difference" listings just mean a converted barn. The Grange is a live rewilding project, so the difference is real. Your team works inside a light, modern Hub with proper AV, then steps out into wood pasture, regenerating hedgerow and meadow with free-roaming pigs and native cattle. It's the kind of backdrop that changes the conversation.
Sample Day Formats
Days are built around what you actually need. Three formats teams come back to:
- Strategy day: morning workshop in the Hub, market garden lunch on the deck, afternoon walking session with structured prompts across the land.
- Team reset: short morning session, guided rewilding tour, lunch, then a nature connection workshop with Dr Chloe Constable in the afternoon.
- Hands-on day: brief context session, then half a day on the land planting trees, laying hedges or working on a habitat project, finishing with reflection over tea.
Activities & Add-Ons
Optional extras you can layer onto any day:
- Bespoke facilitation from Dr Chloe Constable (Clinical Psychologist & Systemic Psychotherapist)
- Guided rewilding tour with Tom, who runs the project
- Foraging walk, dawn chorus walk or guided wildlife watch
- Tree planting, hedge laying or habitat work that contributes to the project
- Market garden lunch, evening supper or BBQ on the deck
For multi-day programmes, you can pair an away day with stays in our off-grid cabins, or look at the full programmes on our partner Wilder Away Days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes The Grange a good away day venue?
Teams arrive into 80 acres of regenerating Welsh countryside rather than a beige meeting room. The Hub gives you a proper workshop space for up to 35, and the surrounding rewilding site gives you a backdrop for nature walks, foraging, conservation activities or simply better conversations on the deck.
How big a team can you host?
Up to 35 people workshop style in the Hub. For larger groups we can split the day between indoor sessions and outdoor activities on the land. Smaller groups of 6 to 12 are very welcome too.
What's included in an away day?
Venue hire of the Grange Hub, all AV equipment, tea, coffee and light refreshments throughout the day, covered decking and free parking. Lunch from our market garden is available from £10pp. Bespoke facilitation, guided rewilding tours and nature connection sessions can be added.

Roughly 45 minutes from Bristol, 1 hour from Cardiff and 30 minutes from Newport by car. By train, Abergavenny station is about 25 minutes away with direct services from London Paddington in around 2h 30. We can help with taxi arrangements for the final leg.
