This festive season, step away from the hustle and bustle and gather your team for a different kind of end-of-year celebration. Slower, deeper, more heartfelt. Come as you are, and leave a little more connected, a little more jolly, and with a lot more shared memories.
At the heart of your experience is a unique Wild Christmas private dining experience. Our Food Philosophy aims to build bridges between personal and planetary health. Gather around a long table to share a meal crafted by our expert retreat chefs featuring ingredients organically-grown and wild-foraged on this land, and designed to bring a touch of wild wonder to your gathering.
Nestled in 173 acres of beautiful, natural landscapes, from ancient forests to rewilded meadows, and an 11-acre lake, 42 Acres is a sanctuary for all of life.
Gathering here brings people together in a place shaped by care for the earth and each other. It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and experience something wholesome together.
Gather in a circle around the fire – an ancient practice that transcends time and kindles warmth and connection. Enjoy a festive welcome drink made from this land as you reflect on this year and build dreams for next.
Later, choose from our menu of experiences designed to support reconnection with nature and each other.

Whether it is giving your energy in support of nature, or getting creative with foraged wreath crafting, your team will leave feeling both connected and festive.
Try your hand at wild crafting your own festive wreath to take home, or flower crown to wear to your private dining experience.
We’ll provide beautiful, natural materials foraged from this land. And, we’ll help you express your own style in this creative, mindful session.
Create a unique, seasonal piece and take a bit of 42 Acres home with you!
A guided walk into the heart of our pioneering rewilding projects. We’ve created a mosaic of diverse habitats, and have seen the return of several once-thought-extinct species to this region, including beavers, wild boar, and pine martens.
We’re also working to bring lost species back to our landscape. Currently, we are focused on White Storks and Wild Cats. We’ll visit both and explore the vital role they play in recreating complete ecosystems.
Give your team the gift of giving back to the Earth. An invitation to work together in a new way and to leave a group legacy in the living landscape here at 42 Acres. Your session might involve planting native trees, or other practical acts of care for the land.
As we rewild this land, we discover that we are also rewilding ourselves. By joining us, your team will directly contribute your energy to support nature, whilst also cultivating a deeper sense of belonging both with each other and to the natural world.
Christmas can feel like a mad rush, so we offer a quietly luxurious overnight stay in peaceful surroundings. From our 15th-century Hermitage to premium barn conversions, there’s something for everyone. Gather by a crackling fire with a warming spiced drink, share stories under the stars, or simply enjoy the calm of the wild.
