Carrie’s expert take

“Port Lympne is the sort of venue that can turn a company away day into a real experience. It’s not just about having a meeting room - you can combine the business side of the day with safari experiences, team activities, dinner and an overnight stay in some really unusual accommodation. I’d put it forward when a company wants to reward its team, bring people together or create an away day that everyone will still be talking about afterwards.”

Best for:
Company away days, corporate retreats, team building, incentive events, leadership meetings, private dinners and residential events.
Standout:
The opportunity to combine a corporate event with a wildlife and safari experience makes Port Lympne genuinely different from a conventional country-house or hotel venue
Good to know:
Corporate programmes can incorporate private safaris and animal experiences, making it particularly suited to events where team engagement is as important as the meeting itself. Another strong point for companies with sustainability or CSR objectives is that revenue generated at the reserve helps support the Aspinall Foundation’s conservation work.
