Call to bookABOUT OUR COMPANY DAYS OUT
At the heart of our Company Day Out is relaxation; time spent away from screens, tablets and phones. Time-out from checking emails, sitting in meetings or watching endless Power Point presentations. The Barn at Blackstairs Ecotrails is a small, eco-friendly private venue. It is an ideal location to hold your company meetings or a Company Day Out training day.
Companies can choose from 3 formats
A full day outing (with organic lunch if required) as well as beverages and home- made cookies throughout the day
OR
A meeting followed by a guided foraging walk with an organic lunch and tea and coffee etc. as required
OR
Forget about business and just have a fun day out in the wild, arranged in advance and in conjunction with your company’s wishes.
