Team building

Unforgettable experiences…

Reward your hardworking team with unforgettable experiences.

Enjoy holistic and wellness activities – from forest and sound bathing, meditation, yoga or simply time to relax in the spa; outdoor team building activities, from fly-fishing, clay pigeon shooting, off-road driving or Birds of Prey experiences.

Savour a bespoke Chef’s Table or fun ‘Ready Steady Cook!’ in the Cookery School; host a lunch or supper in Samuel’s fine dining restaurant, or the more ‘laid-back’ Terrace Restaurant, or take the team to a private island for a picnic and some outdoor ‘brainstorming’.

Each of the activities below can be booked for a private event.

From £30

Forest Bathing

Join Faith, of Forest Bathing UK, for a woodland session of mindfulness in Swinton Park’s 200 acres of lakes and gardens. Through guided activities and exercises, this session is a great way to connect with nature and relax, resulting in reduced stress levels, a balancing of mood disorders and an improvement to the overall quality of life. Available as a spa day or session only.

£465

Digital Detox Retreat

Unplug, unwind, relax, recuperate and recharge. The Digital Detox offers a peaceful woodland setting where you can immerse yourself in Forest Bathing, Sound Baths and evening sessions of Reiki drumming. Clear your mind during a two-night stay, getting close to nature in one of our hand-built and off-grid tree lodges.

From £30

Sound Baths

A beautiful way to relax and meditate with Janie Beardsall. Sound waves from the voice or an instrument, such as drums or Himalayan Singing Bowls, are absorbed by the body to restore balance to the energy matrix. A deep meditation takes place allowing blocked chakras to begin to open, allowing you to re-balance physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Available as a spa day or session only.

Birds of Prey

Falconry experiences at the aviary and surrounding parkland at Swinton Estate. Birds of Prey at the Swinton Estate offers educational and fun experiences, available to visitors upon arrangement. We seek to provide as much hands-on interaction with our guests as possible, and to enjoy the personalities and behaviour our large variety of friendly owls, hawks and falcons.

Golf

Founded in 1895, Masham Golf Club is a beautiful nine-hole parkland course, dissected by the River Burn, set half a mile from Swinton Park. A favourite of singer Bing Crosby, the course is made up of sloping greens, elevated areas undulating fairways and picturesque views from every tee.

Clay Pigeon Shooting

The Clay Shooting Ground at E.J. Churchill at the Swinton Estate offers lessons (group and individual), caddied rounds, Claymate (giving the option for experienced shooters to shoot alone) and events.

Cycling and bike hire

Following on from the Tour de France’s Grand Depart in Yorkshire, cycling in this part of the world has never been more popular. Several of the Tour de France, Tour de Yorkshire and World Championship routes run through Swinton Estate, an area know for its challenging elevation and beautiful scenery.

Northern Fishing School

The Northern Fishing School at Swinton Estate organises guided days or courses on the Estate waters. On a day’s fishing, you will be able to access waters on the Estate that are otherwise closed to the public, such as the River Burn and upper stretch of the Ure.

Spa time

Join us in the Swinton Country Club to reward those hard-working members of your team! You could all enjoy a day in the spa – giving time for treatments, a fabulous lunch and time in the indoor and outdoor natural pool, thermal suite, hot tub, and on sheepskin covered day beds. Or a gorgeous choice of relaxing treatments and holistic therapies.
