A PRIVATE estate in Hampshire has launched a range of rural, cultural and business pursuits for people to enjoy within its grounds.

From a look behind-the-scenes of the neo-classical 19th century mansion and its theatre to a tasting and tour of The Grange’s award-winning vineyard and winery, there are five “estate experiences” for customers to choose from.

The experiences include guided walks with a member of The Grange team, a historical back stage tour of The Grange mansion and its theatre, a tour of the vineyard and wine tasting hosted by Zam Baring at Grange Estate Wines, and a two-night opera experience, staying at one of The Grange’s properties.

The experiences are designed to give an insight into the estate's landscape in the Candover Valley and its history as it enters a new chapter of regeneration and restoration by its owners Lord and Lady Ashburton and the Baring family partnership.

The Grange Hampshire is also offering rural retreats for companies to improve leadership skills through tailored exercises in a converted barn or amid its 3,500 acres, whilst staying in some of the estate’s properties - whether it be the 18th century farm house with swimming pool, a listed 19th century former coach house or the newly converted cottage beside the lake.

The Grange business director and strategist Sophie Ashburton said: “People are investing their time and money when they go on business retreats; it needs to work well and we have the insight into how to make that happen and be in nature. We can structure it so that you have as much or as little of The Grange team as you want.

“Every pound counts and this is a sustainable way to take your team away and allow them to focus. Also, if you’re well looked after this allows for release and recovery - every pound you spend here is spent well. We have all that you need and nothing you don’t need.”
