veteran retreat
We had the pleasure of welcoming the Veteran Retreat Club to Eaton Manor in April to host a retreat for military veterans.
The Veteran Retreat Club is a not-for-profit organisation that provides health and wellbeing retreats and support services for UK based military veterans.
They held a very special 4 day retreat at Eaton Manor, using the Banqueting Room, Secret Garden and Playing Field for the majority of their activities, and the group staying in The Manor House, Toad Hall and Curlew Cottage.
How Eaton Manor worked for the weekend…
The retreat was held from a Thursday to Sunday in April, and the Events Centre was the perfect location for the weekend’s activities, with organisers, Lyndsay and Karl, making the space their own.
The Secret Garden and the Playing Field also provided a great space for outdoor activities including cold water dips and exercise sessions.
The retreat offered 24 military veterans wellness workshops, lifestyle coaching, yoga, meditation, mobility & fitness, and all round support.
The group also had time to explore the outdoor surroundings, taking walks around our private estate estate to connect with nature and enjoy the fresh air of the countryside.
The aim of the retreat was to help the veterans prioritise their own health and wellbeing, and become part of a network of veterans that provide the camaraderie and support that they need since leaving the forces.
Thank you very, very much for being such accommodating venue hosts for our veteran retreat. The impact and the changes we’ve seen with the participants during and after the retreat has been life changing.

The Accommodation & Dining
The group stayed in The Manor House, Toad Hall and Curlew Cottage.
The retreat was fully catered using a caterer chosen by the organisers, with everyone gathering together to dine in the Heywood Room in the Events Centre.
We also provided a firepit for the group to use on the patio of The Secret Garden where they could gather together in the evenings.
