Let’s be honest, corporate events can sometimes feel a little uninspiring. Awkward team-building exercises, a dull conference room with no windows, and a lunchtime buffet that never quite stretches far enough. However, here at Combermere Abbey corporate events don’t have to be that way!

While many know Combermere Abbey as a stunning wedding venue and peaceful holiday destination, incorporating The North Wing B+B and self-catering cottages, our exclusive Cheshire country estate is redefining the way you do business with our luxury corporate retreat packages.

What is a Corporate Retreat?

A corporate retreat is a carefully planned event organised by a company or business (of any size) that allows their team to take a break from their usual working environment to spend time together in a different setting. Combermere Abbey provides the perfect setting in the Cheshire countryside for team-away days, team building, strategic planning meetings, or reward and recognition getaways.

Regular company retreats offer numerous benefits, including more creative thinking, building stronger internal relationships and encouraging loyalty and retention. Below you will find 5 reasons why we believe Combermere Abbey in partnership with Artemis Venue Services makes it a serious contender for your next corporate retreat in Cheshire.

Team-building in exclusive private surroundings

With acres and acres of rolling Cheshire parkland, walled gardens and ancient woodlands, Combermere Abbey has been transformed from a sleepy private family home into a dynamic, forward-looking and professionally run organisation set in some of the most inspiring architectural buildings and incredible natural features in the northwest.  Boasting accommodation for up to 53 guests and 200 attendees, the venue offers a flexible meeting space with a seamless blend of historic grandeur and modern functionality for your corporate events.

Luxury Accommodation

Nestled on the Cheshire/Shropshire border, our luxury, award-winning Cheshire accommodation is the perfect way to ensure your corporate retreat exceeds expectations. With no more travel to think about, take a short walk to one of our elegant, comfortable and well-equipped cottages centred around the Victorian stables and the charming gothic Stone Lodge. After a long day, before heading back to your accommodation, unwind with some downtime on a walk in the woods or relax with views over the spectacular mere.
