Boost productivity and wellbeing in the workplace with launch of new Corporate Wellness Retreat in South West

Orchardleigh Corporate Wellness, located on the well known Orchardleigh Estate, just an hour from Bristol, recognises the pressures facing many workplaces in supporting their staff and promotes improved wellbeing for teams.

Tailored to meet the needs of today’s fast-paced business world, the new corporate retreat is designed to boost productivity, reduce stress, and foster team cohesion using techniques including the Wim Hof method for resilience and strength-building.

Guests will also enjoy wild swimming in Orchardleigh’s expansive 25-acre lake, 1:1 counselling sessions for personalised support, plus fitness sessions and Nordic Walking to enhance stamina and physical wellbeing.

Founder of Orchardleigh Wellness, Samantha Newby-Vincent said the launch of the new offer came after a recognition of the need for more spaces where teams can visit to receive some much needed wellbeing support and guidance.

“With heightened awareness of workplace burnout and a greater focus on both mental and physical well being among employees, our new wellness retreats are the perfect antidote to corporate stress,” said Samantha, who launched Orchardleigh Retreats in the summer of 2024.

“The retreats provide a unique blend of restorative activities and expert-led wellness practices to help business professionals reconnect, recharge, and return to work with renewed focus and energy.”

Corporate Wellness programs at Orchardleigh will also feature activities aimed at supporting positive mental and physical health. These include yoga and pilates for relaxation and flexibility, as well as breathing techniques and Qigong to calm the mind whilst improving focus.

Situated just outside Frome, Orchardleigh offers a peaceful, distraction-free environment that allows teams to disconnect from the pressures of daily work and reconnect with themselves and each other. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a mid-week escape, businesses can choose from a range of customisable packages to suit their goals and team dynamics.

Samantha added: “We are thrilled to expand our wellness offering into the corporate sector. In today’s fast-paced business world, taking time to focus on personal wellbeing is more important than ever. We’re looking forward to welcoming teams, and watching them leave behind stress, rediscover their focus, and return to work stronger and more unified.”
