The Shire is a wellness-led events and offsite venue set within 150 acres of parkland, lakes, and woodland in the Northamptonshire countryside. Just an hour from London Euston, and equidistant from Milton Keynes and Northampton, it offers a true sense of escape without the travel. We host company offsites, leadership retreats, workshops, strategy sessions, private dinners, and product events. Our spaces are recently restored and thoughtfully designed, ranging from a large open event room with a walled garden and terrace, to a boardroom set within a Georgian farmhouse, alongside multiple outdoor gathering spots. What sets The Shire apart is our blend of workspace and wellness. Guests have access to our wild sauna and cold plunge, swimming lake, yoga studio, tennis court, miles of walking trails, and a nature-rich landscape designed for slowing down and reconnecting. We work with a trusted network of wellness practitioners offering yoga, breathwork, meditation, and sound bath sessions, which can be integrated into your schedule. Catering is available through our on-site café, with menus focused on nourishing, seasonal food. We host one group per day, ensuring privacy, space, and a relaxed pace. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels personal, grounded, and beautifully unique, we’d love to welcome you to The Shire.
