For your next retreat, incentive or small team offsite are you looking for a luxury, boutique, chilled surf-style vibe venue opposite the beach with wellness experiences, a wine estate down the road that you can pop offsite to to provide a different environment for a workshop or interactive experience?
Then The Gallivant down near Rye on the Kent coast is for you! Less than 1.5 hours travel from London St Pancras and with 22 beautifully designed and very individual bedrooms, the Gallivant, a Small Luxury Hotels of the World, provides that stunning escape for your clients and staff. There is also the opportunity to visit their English wine partner, Gusbourne Wine, for a wine tasting or tour of the vineyard, which adds that special something to your event.
I visited last week and was so impressed and can’t wait to return for a relaxing stay myself or with a client. Thank you so much Sarah Houghton for a delicious lunch and wonderful visit.
If you would like to find out more about how the Gallivant can impress your staff and clients, then give me a call and we can get chatting!
This weekend I managed a wonderful getaway and visited South Lodge, one of the beautiful Exclusive Collection properties in the rolling Sussex countryside. It really is an experience, and was a lovely treat!
With stunning views from my bedroom window across the lawns and vines, an expansive spa offering relaxing and rejuvenating treatments - I indulged in a one-hour hot-stone massage, which was heaven - and a trio of excellent restaurants offering delicious culinary delights, this five-star hotel is an excellent choice for retreats, team off-sites, incentives and senior leadership events.
In July eight enchanting Lakeside Lodges are opening situated around their wild swimming lake! Providing the best in modern luxury and sustainability, these will provide guests with a wonderful place to retreat to. I can’t wait to see these on my next visit!

What a fabulous weekend spent with family down in Kent celebrating birthdays! One activity we all love is helping my brother fly his Harris hawk 🦅
She’s still young so our role was helping her learn to fly to different people and fly with people watching.
My brother’s passion for falconry and birds of prey started before he was in his teens - to me he knew everything, and now his knowledge has just grown over the years and he has his dream of owning and flying his own birds.
How would your guests at your event feel if they had the experience flying a bird of prey or watching a falconer put a falcon through its paces at speed using a lure? Excited? Wowed? I think so! 🤩
Falconry is a wonderful activity or entertainment for your events. A traditional country pursuits that brings guests together for a thoroughly interactive and memorable experience!
Sometimes you just need a bit of R&R….
I’m heading up to the moors in North Yorkshire and Cumbria this weekend and catching up with a great friend. I was up there last month and am hoping the weather tomorrow will be just like it was then!
There is something about being out on the wide open moors all day - a complete escape and very good for the soul.
Where do you head off to for a spot of R&R?

I am then catching up with a wonderful client of mine and taking them on two site visits to venues they are looking to use for a couple of their events this autumn - the George V Suite at The Bloomsbury and Hanover Gallery with Bubble Food👌 I love working with these guys and am really looking forward to showing these venues off to them!
