If you’re searching for team building at Hanbury Manor, congratulations — you’ve just struck gold (or should we say, five *****stars). Set in the rolling Hertfordshire countryside, Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club is more than just a picturesque conference venue — it’s practically our neighbour. In fact, Zing Events HQ is less than a mile down the road in Ware, which means no travel charges, no complicated logistics — just seamless, high-impact team building delivered by the locals who know the estate best.
Why Hanbury Manor Is the Dream Venue for Corporate Team Building
This isn’t your average country club. With 14 flexible event spaces — including the show-stopping Garden Court, the magnificent Poles Hall, and the stately Thundridge Room — Hanbury Manor in Hertfordshire has everything you need to turn a regular off-site into a company-wide mic-drop.
-
Up to 180 guests in the largest rooms
-
On-site luxury accommodation
-
Award-winning PGA championship golf course
-
The Hawthorn Room with French doors opening onto pristine lawns
-
All wrapped in 200 acres of beautifully manicured countryside
And that lawn? It’s basically begging for a Soap Box Race, an outdoor Crystal Maze, or a full-blown corporate sports day.
Your Meeting, Supercharged
Here’s the thing: Hanbury’s built-in luxury and Zing Events’ bespoke team building options are a match made in off-site heaven. Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, staff conference, or just an excuse to get the team out of the office — we’ll turn your team building at Hanbury Manor into something they’ll talk about all year.
Here are just a few ideas that work brilliantly on-site:
🚗 Soap Box Derby on the Lawns
Design, build, and race your own madcap vehicles on the grounds. Big laughs, big teamwork, and very little actual driving skill required.

A race against time to neutralise a simulated cyber threat, delivered as an escape-room-in-a-box. Perfect for indoor settings like Poles Hall or Garden Court — no app required, just sharp minds and sharper teamwork.
🕵️♂️ The Deceivers
Inspired by the hit TV show The Traitors, this game of lies, deduction and paranoia works brilliantly across multiple rooms or even around the estate’s grounds.
