Your country home from home

Our recent "Experience Chew" at the exquisite Sopwell House was a resounding success! From warm welcomes and luxurious rooms with stunning views to networking over drinks in the Octagon Bar, our clients experienced the best in hospitality. The Blind Tasting activity was a hit, fostering trust and camaraderie while testing everyone's taste buds.

We explored Sopwell House’s versatile event spaces, including the conference centre, walled garden, and spa facilities. Dinner at Omboo delighted everyone with a tasting menu of popular dishes, followed by a relaxing farewell drink back at the Octagon Bar. The next morning, we indulged in a bountiful buffet breakfast and made the most of the spa amenities.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and to the Sopwell House team for their exceptional hosting.

The Perfect Backdrop for Your Next Event

Recently, Chew visited Port Lympne Safari Park for an unforgettable experience set against 600 acres of stunning Kentish savannah.

Sarah experienced luxury glamping at Bear Lodge, overlooking the bear habitat. The en-suite tents, sleeping up to eight each, have lounge and kitchen areas, offering a perfect blend of comfort and adventure.

The following day, we explored the accommodations available and discovered beautiful event spaces, including the breathtaking orangery set in the picturesque grounds. These venues are ideal for creating memorable events, whether for corporate retreats, weddings, or private celebrations.

Conservation is at the heart of everything this venue does. After lunch, we were treated to a safari, where we saw a selection of the 900 animals that call Port Lympne home. The reserve is a haven for many rare and endangered species, and their care is critical to this venue’s mission.

Thank you to Keighley Hooper and the team for this incredible visit.

For a unique and impactful setting, enquire with us about hosting your next event at Port Lympne!

As 2024 sees Chew’s presence in the APAC region soar to unprecedented heights, and Debbie’s recent trip to the Meeting Show Asia Pacific was nothing short of enlightening.

Debbie’s journey began connecting with longstanding venue contacts we’ve collaborated closely with for years. These encounters were opportunities to nurture and strengthen relationships that form the foundation of successful events.

This stunning trip led Debbie to uncover hidden gems in both venues and destinations, promising novel experiences for our clients in the future.

One highlight was joining the Sustainable Event Professional Certificate (SEPC) bespoke introduction course, which reconfirms Chew’s commitment to such an important topic and getting a behind-the-scenes tour of the sustainable practices in place at the Marina Bay Sands. They really are industry leaders!

Debbie also explored eight diverse venues in Singapore, including exciting new openings.

Throughout the event, Debbie participated in discussions on emerging trends, elevating MICE experiences, and prioritising wellness at events. These insights will undoubtedly shape our approach as we continue to innovate and adapt to the evolving needs of our clients.
