Unforgettable Corporate Away Days
If your business is looking for inspiring team-building activities near Stonehenge, you’re in the right place. Use the Manor Estate as your base for the day or two and explore the landscape around this iconic site. Filled with hands-on experiences, challenge-based adventures, and creative workshops that bring people together in memorable ways.
Here are 10 team-building activities near Stonehenge your group will love:
1. Guided Stonehenge Landscape Walk
A professional guide takes your team across the ancient Stonehenge landscape—past burial mounds, ritual sites, and historic pathways. It’s the perfect blend of fresh air, easy exercise, and fascinating stories that spark conversation and bonding.
Take a look at: Stonehenge Walks for more information.
Why it works: Relaxed shared experiences build rapport and inspire curiosity.
2. Bushcraft & Survival Skills Workshops
Local outdoor instructors offer woodland-based sessions where teams learn fire-lighting, shelter building, foraging tips, and navigation. Activities can be tailored for collaboration, problem-solving, and stepping outside comfort zones.
Craft Courses give lots of inspiration locally.
Why it works: Bushcraft rewards communication and teamwork under gentle pressure.
3. Archery or Axe Throwing
Add a little friendly competition with an archery or axe-throwing session. Instructors come on-site to guide your team safely, and you can organise group challenges or a full tournament. We have really enjoyed these corporate away days and even sometimes get a little go ourselves at the end of the day!
Contact Phoenix Leisure for full details and prices.
Why it works: Brings out healthy rivalry, focus, and encouragement among colleagues.
4. Gin or Mead Tasting with a Local Producer
Wiltshire is home to craft gin distilleries and traditional meaderies. Book a private tasting and your team can discover local flavours, learn the distilling process, and enjoy a relaxing social experience.
Witchmark Distillery is 9 miles away and offers tours and tastings on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Why it works: Great for breaking the ice and rewarding your team after meetings.
5. Hands-On Pottery or Craft Workshops
Unleash creativity with a pottery, willow weaving, or arts workshop at a local artisan studio. These sessions are calming, collaborative, and a brilliant way for teams to express themselves.
We are lucky enough to have Sarah Brain of Stonehenge Pottery in the village who offers one off pottery experiences for groups.
Why it works: Creative tasks encourage mindfulness, patience, and team encouragement.
6. Outdoor Adventure Challenges
For teams wanting something high-energy, the area offers activities like high ropes courses, climbing walls, or zip lines. These challenges can be run as group competitions or supportive experiences.
Why it works: Perfect for building trust, boosting morale, and creating shared memories.
7. Local Food & Farm Experiences
Wiltshire farms often offer behind-the-scenes tours, tastings, or countryside cooking experiences. One of our local caterers, Vaughn’s Kitchen, offers groups engaging cookery sessions including bread workshops, Far East Asian, Thai, Italian, pizza or farm-to-table cook-off challenges.
Why it works: Food experiences create natural conversation and collaboration.
8. Wellness & Mindfulness Retreat Sessions
Connect with nature in our garden, teams can take part in yoga, meditation, gong baths, or breathwork sessions led by experienced practitioners. This is ideal for organisations wanting to prioritise staff wellbeing.
Why it works: Reduces stress, restores focus, and strengthens team harmony.
9. Cycling or E-Bike Tours Through Wiltshire’s Countryside
Explore the scenic trails around Stonehenge on guided cycling tours. E-bikes make the experience accessible for all fitness levels while still offering an adventurous day outdoors. We will be partnering with local company Gert Bikes in 2026 to offer guests e-bikes to hire on a per day basis.
Why it works: Encourages teamwork, fitness, and a shared sense of achievement.
10. Puzzle-Based Team Challenges & Escape-Style Missions
Bring in mobile escape game providers or book team challenge games hosted at our venue. These sessions involve problem-solving, communication, and fast thinking under time pressure.
Why it works: Ideal for developing leadership, collaboration, and creative thinking.
Located just two miles from Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Manor Estate invites you to experience the magic for yourself.
