Planning a corporate retreat requires more than just finding a meeting space—it’s about creating an environment where your team can connect, recharge, and get inspired. At the Bedford Village Inn, we understand the importance of balancing work with relaxation. This is why we offer a variety of activities designed to make your retreat both productive and enjoyable.
From wine tastings at our award-winning cellar to outdoor adventures in the picturesque New Hampshire landscape, we provide the perfect setting to spark creativity and foster collaboration. Here are a few ideas to help you plan the ultimate corporate retreat experience.
Team Building Activities
- Host a welcome party: A great company retreat idea is to start your stay with a relaxed gathering. This helps people unwind after traveling and encourages excitement for the days ahead.
- Incorporate unique experiences: Why not make wine tasting one of your team-building activities? Wine tasting at the Inn’s award-winning Corks cellar is a fun way to add luxury to the retreat.
- Plan outdoor activities: Hiking allows your teammates to connect in a fresh setting. Spending time in nature also sparks creativity, encouraging effective future planning and new approaches to problem-solving.
- Encourage socializing during meals: Dining at one of the Inn’s award-winning restaurants is always a good idea. It gives people time to mix and build relationships in a casual environment. Plus, it’s always easier to communicate when your team understands one another—inside and outside of the office.
- Brainstorm, host workshops, and rethink strategies: The Bedford Village Inn has multiple private rooms to choose from, so you can consider feedback, solve business challenges, and identify opportunities in style.
