Restart & Reconnect at Coombe Abbey
As organisations move into 2026, wellbeing has become an essential part of successful meetings and conferences. Teams are looking for more than time away from the office. They want space to think clearly, reconnect with colleagues and return feeling focused and energised. Restart & Reconnect at Coombe Abbey has been created to support exactly that.
Set within 500 acres of Warwickshire parkland, Coombe Abbey Hotel provides a calm, inspiring setting for corporate events. The historic surroundings naturally encourage teams to slow down, reset and engage more meaningfully with their time together.
A wellbeing-led approach to conferences
Restart & Reconnect blends professional meeting facilities with a structured wellbeing experience designed to support focus, resilience and engagement. Rather than treating wellbeing as an add-on, it is thoughtfully woven into the day, helping teams get more from meetings, conferences and team days.
This approach works particularly well for leadership meetings, strategy sessions and conferences where clarity of thinking and collaboration are key.
Supporting performance through guided wellbeing
The experience includes short, focused wellbeing and performance sessions that complement the flow of a meeting day. Delivered as standalone sessions lasting between 30 and 60 minutes, they help delegates reset mentally, manage stress and re-engage with purpose.
Sessions are led by Carmen MacDougall, a business consultant, facilitator and Neuro Linguistic Practitioner with more than 23 years’ experience in mindset, wellbeing and transformational coaching. Her work with corporate organisations focuses on improving focus, confidence, resilience and workplace culture, supporting teams to perform at their best.
A conference day designed with care
From arrival through to the close of the day, Restart & Reconnect is designed to support both comfort and concentration. Delegates are welcomed with light refreshments before settling into a fully equipped meeting space supported by Coombe Abbey’s experienced Events Team.
Throughout the day, nourishing food and well-timed breaks help maintain energy levels, while moments away from the meeting room allow teams to pause and reflect. Time outdoors is encouraged, giving delegates the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and movement as part of the experience.
Making the most of the parkland setting
Coombe Abbey’s parkland plays an important role in creating a sense of balance during the day. Lakeside walks, woodland paths and open green spaces offer a peaceful backdrop for informal conversations and clear thinking.
For teams looking to add a more energetic element, Go Ape is located within the park and offers outdoor challenges that are ideal for team bonding. Whether the focus is calm reflection or shared activity, the setting allows organisers to shape a conference experience that feels both productive and restorative.
Conferences with a responsible focus
Coombe Abbey Hotel is proud to hold the 2025 Bronze Award in the Greengage ECOsmart Hotels and Venues Scheme, recognising its commitment to sustainability. Hosting a conference here means choosing a venue that values wellbeing, heritage and environmental responsibility.
Begin the year reconnected
