Away Days Worth Getting Excited About

Let’s be honest: most away days aren’t exactly a team favourite. But that’s because they haven’t been to one at The Venue.

We make space for ideas and genuine connection, not just awkward icebreakers and beige buffets. Inside our converted Victorian mill, the layout can be flexed and adapted to your day, while our courtyard and Eden Garden offer a breath of fresh air. Away days at The Venue encourage focus without pressure, and conversation without clock-watching – a world away from the usual office backdrop.

We’ve hosted strategy days, creative workshops, leadership kick-offs, and team socials – all shaped to fit the people in the room. AV setup? Sorted. Wi-Fi? Fast. Bar? Fully stocked. Food and drink? Fresh and far from standard. Whether you're after breakfast rolls and strong coffee or something more celebratory to round off the day, we’ll help you find the right balance with our drinks packages and the help of our trusted caterers.

And because the Eskmills estate is just 20 minutes from Edinburgh, getting here is easy, leaving you with more time (and headspace) to get something real out of the day.
