I would like to say a huge thankyou once again for making two very memorable days for TEAMRISE. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, you and the staff have been truly amazing!!

TEAM RISE

Education

Thank you for such a lovely trip! From enquiring, booking and on the day the whole process was very friendly and well organised. Whitehough accommodated for our needs making the whole process trouble free. On the day everything was arranged to maximize and make the most of the day.

What an incredible place, it’s hard to believe I’d never been before. Many of us, myself included, were pushed well outside our comfort zones, and that made the day even more rewarding. We laughed, supported each other, and worked together to tackle a variety of activities, finishing off with a delicious lunch. Whitehough is the perfect setting for team building, whatever the weather. If you’re a business looking for a memorable, energising day out, make sure this is on your list. The staff were brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and safe. Kimberley Thompson, Managing Director

There was something really powerful about holding a space for women in such a natural, calming environment. The setting, the sunshine, and the way everyone showed up so openly, everything just flowed. It was beautiful to see the difference in energy from start to finish

We’ve noticed improvements in focus and attention in school after our students spend a day at Whitehough. The activities give them a chance to relax, but also push themselves in a way that feels safe and supported. It’s been especially encouraging to hear the students cheering each other on – the team spirit and social interaction really bring something out in them
