In today’s competitive job market, employee wellness is no longer a perk—it’s a key differentiator. Businesses that prioritise wellbeing stand out, not just for the care they show, but for the culture they create. It’s this commitment that attracts top talent, fosters loyalty, and helps retain the people who drive your success.
Investing in corporate wellbeing isn’t just the right thing to do though — it’s a smart business decision. Poor mental health costs UK employers around £51 billion each year, but for every £1 spent on mental health support, businesses see an average return of £5 through reduced absence and improved productivity (HR Magazine). Prioritising wellbeing helps you retain talent, boost morale, and drive performance
At The Barn, we believe true wellbeing comes from creating space to reconnect—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our corporate wellbeing retreats offer your team a chance to step away from the demands of the workplace and into a nurturing, restorative environment. Available as half-day or full-day experiences, each retreat is thoughtfully designed to support mental clarity, resilience, creativity, and team cohesion.
Pilates, Yoga, Yogalates – suitable for all abilities
Gentle movement sessions support both physical and mental wellbeing. From energising Pilates to calming Yogalates, these sessions help reduce stress, improve posture and mobility, and build a deeper mind-body connection. All sessions are inclusive and guided by experienced instructors who cater to all fitness levels.
Meditation, Breathwork, Sound Healing
These practices offer deep relaxation and mental reset. Sound healing, guided meditation, and breathwork sessions help to calm the nervous system, improve focus, and build emotional resilience—tools that participants can carry back into daily life.
Cold Water Immersion, Nature Immersion, Team-Building Activities
For teams seeking something different, we offer immersive experiences that encourage presence, challenge, and bonding. Cold water immersion and forest-based activities tap into nature’s restorative power, while structured team-building exercises foster collaboration and trust.
Employees who receive mental health support are 26% more productive and report a 60% improvement in overall wellbeing.

Health, Nutrition, Stress Management, Mental Health
Expert-led coaching sessions give employees personalised tools for managing stress, improving their health, and building long-term resilience. Topics can be focused around nutrition, mental wellbeing, and sustainable work-life habits.
We also offer coaching for personal development, helping individuals set meaningful goals, clarify their values, and build confidence. Whether it's career progression, finding work-life balance, or building self-awareness, these sessions empower employees to take ownership of their personal and professional growth.
Business Skills, Communication, Presentation Training
As part of a holistic approach, we offer sessions that empower your team with practical business tools—such as presentation skills, leadership development, and communication strategies—to complement the wellness-focused elements of the day.
Wellbeing doesn’t end when the retreat does. We can connect you with trusted local practitioners for on-site follow-up sessions, or work with partners across the UK to deliver longer-term wellbeing packages for your team.

Our retreats are supported by nutritious, high-quality catering, provided by local chefs using fresh, seasonal ingredients. For those travelling from further afield, we can assist in sourcing beautiful local accommodation—ideal for teams looking to unwind further or build the retreat into a longer off-site experience.
The Barn is ideally located near the Cotswolds, Oxford, and Stratford-upon-Avon, making it easily accessible yet wonderfully secluded. Teams can enjoy the charm of nearby villages, cultural landmarks, or extend their visit with local excursions—all within a short drive of our countryside setting.
We understand that every team is different — that’s why our corporate wellbeing days are fully customisable. Whether you're after a relaxing reset, an energising team-building experience, or a bit of both, we’ll build a bespoke package that suits your goals, schedule, and budget.
