Why Glamping Works for Team Building: Corporate Retreats at Kingfisher Lakes

Sometimes, the best thing a team can do is step away from the day-to-day.

When deadlines, emails and back-to-back meetings start to fill every corner of the week, creating space to pause, reflect and reconnect can make a real difference. That’s why more businesses are choosing Kingfisher Lakes Glamping & Lodges for their corporate retreats, team getaways and leadership events.

Tucked away amongst private lakes and beautiful East Yorkshire countryside, Kingfisher Lakes offers a chance to swap busy offices and hotel conference rooms for fresh air, open skies and a slower pace. It’s a place where teams can breathe, think differently and spend quality time together away from the usual distractions.

Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, strategy day, wellbeing escape or team-building stay, our lakeside setting provides a relaxed and inspiring backdrop. Guests can enjoy our luxury lodges and glamping accommodation with great facilities, alongside plenty of outdoor space for workshops, group activities, creative thinking or simply sitting by the water with a coffee and a conversation.

What we hear time and time again is how quickly people settle in here. There’s something about being surrounded by nature that helps everyone relax, opening the door to better conversations, stronger connections and fresh ideas.

We’ve been lucky enough to welcome leadership teams, graduate programmes, wellbeing groups and businesses looking for a memorable off-site experience.

No two retreats are the same, which is why we work closely with each group to create a stay that feels right for them.
One recent guest summed their experience up perfectly:

“Excellent week in the sun at Kingfisher Lakes Glamping & Lodges. First time there as a business and it did not disappoint. Jo Lee & Rob were fantastic hosts and the food from Weiwei was 🔥🤌🏼. If you’re looking for a luxury glamping spot in Yorkshire, check them out. You won’t regret it!”

For us, that’s what it’s all about — welcoming people, helping them feel at home, and creating an environment where teams can relax, reconnect and leave feeling refreshed.

If you’re looking for a corporate retreat venue that’s a little different, we’d love to welcome you to Kingfisher Lakes and show you why so many organisations are choosing the countryside over the boardroom. 🌿
