SUGAR & RIND BESPOKE PRESENTS
A GUIDE TO A SUMMER AWAY DAY

INTRODUCTION
As we start to feel the warmth of the sun again, the long afternoons and lighter evenings are inspiring many of us to think ahead to summer, so now’s the time to start planning an exclusive summer away day. Our bespoke events are designed to alleviate the workload for our clients and to bond and refresh the workforce in the summer months.
If you’re considering a corporate summer away day, we’d love to guide you through the elements to ensure that we create something truly exceptional for you and your staff. From selecting the right venue to crafting memorable catering and outstanding entertainment, every detail counts. We’re here to help you curate a day that speaks to your team’s tastes.

CHOOSING A VENUE THAT SETS THE STAGE
At Sugar & Rind, we believe the location sets the tone for the entire event. The first step in creating a truly exceptional event is choosing a venue that resonates with your company values. Should it be a country manor, a vineyard or a more urban space that’s close to your office? Working from our long list of venue options, we can narrow it down to a list that suits your specific needs.

CATERING THAT ELEVATES THE EXPERIENCE
We’re firm believers that food can be an experience in itself. When planning your exclusive summer away day, the culinary experience should be front and centre. Let’s explore food stations, street food trucks or sharing-style sit down meals as an alternative to the usual food formats.
You could consider hosting a masterclass with a private chef. Guests can enjoy the food but also participate in creating it. Whether it’s learning the art of hand-rolling pasta or crafting cocktails, an interactive experience makes it more memorable.

ELEGANT ENTERTAINMENT
Entertainment is often what excites guests during the event. It definitely excites the S&R team when we’re planning an event!
Finding the right balance between sophistication and fun can be tricky, but we’re experts at creating these experiences so we can tailor the entertainment to suit the team’s personality. A mind reader could be just the ice breaker you need? Or is it garden games or group activities that you prefer? You name it, it’s in our armoury so let’s chat about the brief so that we can deliver on it for you.

INCORPORATING WELLNESS
We believe that luxury lies in balance. Indulgence is often key, but a time to unwind is equally important. Our team recommends incorporating a wellness element into your summer away day. A morning yoga session on the lawn or waterside, guided meditation overlooking water means that guests begin to recharge.
Our clients may like to treat their teams with private massages, facials, or even a sound bath designed to rejuvenate, so that everyone leaves feeling relaxed and inspired. We work in masses of gorgeous venues that provide lovely treats like this for your team.

EVENTS THAT FEEL EFFORTLESS
From the moment guests arrive, they should feel like every detail has been carefully thought out and taken care of. It’s little added touches that make all the difference, such as a personalised cocktail menu or a play-list that suits the audience. We pride ourselves on planning and running events without stress or fuss, and we understand the art of creating unforgettable experiences. If you’re considering an exclusive summer away day for your team, we’d be delighted to help you bring your vision to life. We’re here to make it easier for you.
