Immersive, Scottish Experiences and Destination Gatherings are Increasingly Popular
1. Immersive Experiences
Corporate events are moving beyond the traditional meeting format, with companies looking for memorable experiences that bring teams together.
From Highland Games and clay shooting to off-road driving experiences and activities across the estate, Winton offers plenty of opportunities to get teams involved, have fun and experience something completely different.
2. The Scottish Experience
More companies are embracing Scotland as part of their away day experience – from a traditional Scottish dinner and Address to the Haggis to Highland dress, pipers, Highland dancing and a lively ceilidh.
Set within a Scottish castle, these traditions come together to create an unforgettable Scottish experience for your guests.
3. Destination Gatherings
Increasingly, companies want to take their teams somewhere memorable, turning meetings and away days into opportunities for teams to connect, unwind and enjoy an authentic experience somewhere new.
With Winton Castle and accommodation across the 2000 acre estate, the entire experience can become part of the event.
Teams Want to be Outside the Office and Love Intentional Design
4. Outside the Office
We’re seeing more companies take their events outdoors to enjoy a more casual and relaxed atmosphere away from the traditional meeting room.
BBQs, long lunches and drinks in the grounds give teams the chance to slow down, connect and enjoy the setting – making the occasion feel like a real experience rather than a corporate event.
5. Intentional Design
We are biased and think that our castle needs no embellishment but appreciate that thoughtful colour palettes, layered textures and considered tablescapes are transforming corporate events into beautifully designed experiences.
From a relaxed lunch to an impressive evening dinner, Winton provides a historic backdrop that lends itself naturally to thoughtful, considered design.
