The best venues for team building and corporate away days in Surrey

Discover Surrey's best venues for team building events, corporate away days and company offsites, from vineyard experiences and driving challenges to luxury country retreats.

Updated on 28 July 2026

Surrey is one of the South East's best-connected destinations for team building events, corporate away days, company offsites and corporate retreats. Bordering Greater London and home to the Surrey Hills National Landscape, the county combines historic estates, championship golf clubs, vineyards, racecourses and luxury hotels with excellent transport links, making it easy for businesses to bring colleagues together without travelling far from the capital.

South Western Railway runs direct services from London Waterloo to Woking in around 25 minutes and to Guildford in around 35 minutes on the fastest trains, with further stations across the county keeping most venues within an hour of the capital. The M25, A3, M23 and M3 provide straightforward road access, and Surrey's proximity to both Heathrow and Gatwick airports makes it a practical choice for teams travelling from further afield.

Frequently asked questions about planning a team building experience in Surrey

What makes Surrey a good location for a team building day?

Its combination of countryside and connectivity. Surrey sits just outside the capital yet contains the Surrey Hills National Landscape, the River Thames and rolling North Downs, so teams get a genuine change of scenery without the travel time of a longer offsite. It also means a wider mix of venue types than you'd typically find this close to London, from racecourses and golf clubs to vineyards and historic estates.

How do I get to Surrey venues, and is it convenient for teams flying in?

Straightforward on both counts. South Western Railway connects London Waterloo to Woking in around 25 minutes and to Guildford in around 35 minutes on the fastest services, while the M25, A3, M23 and M3 cover road journeys across the county. Surrey also borders both Heathrow and Gatwick, so it's a practical base for teams travelling in from elsewhere in the UK or overseas.

What kinds of team-building activities are unique to Surrey?

A few things you won't find in every county. Surrey is home to England's largest single-estate vineyard, with tours and tastings set across the Surrey Hills, alongside driving experience venues, working racecourses that host racing-themed corporate days, and golf clubs pairing meeting space with course-based challenges. It's an unusually wide spread of options for one county.

Can Surrey venues handle large-scale events and exclusive-use bookings?

They can. The county's racecourses can hold several hundred to over a thousand guests for a full conference, awards event or product launch, with smaller suites available for breakout sessions. For something more distinctive, some Thames-side venues offer exclusive hire on their own private island, a genuinely unusual option for a self-contained away day.

Are there venues suited to overnight or residential away days?

Yes — several of the county's luxury estates pair accommodation with spa and wellness facilities, so a residential offsite can combine meetings, dining, treatments and an overnight stay without changing location.

How far in advance should we book a team building venue in Surrey?

As early as possible for exclusive-hire dates, summer weekdays and venues with limited function space, since these tend to book up first. Booking ahead also makes it easier to coordinate add-ons such as golf packages, vineyard tours or overnight accommodation, which often carry their own separate availability.
