Green & Away

Green & Away is a distinctive outdoor events venue near Bransford in Worcestershire, created for organisers seeking a more natural and environmentally conscious setting. Run by an educational charity, the venue welcomes conferences, retreats, courses, workshops, meetings, celebrations and selected weddings during its summer operating season.

The site is built as a temporary tented village in a peaceful rural setting, surrounded by countryside and close to the Malvern Hills. Event organisers can hire a fully serviced venue with large marquees for group sessions, smaller spaces for break-out activities, a yurt, a straw bale house and communal areas arranged around a central village green and campfire. The flexible layout works for intimate gatherings as well as conferences and retreats for groups of up to around 150 guests.

Green & Away can support multi-day events with on-site accommodation, including camping pitches, furnished bell tents and other tented options. Facilities include composting toilets, wood-fired showers, solar-powered electricity, Wi-Fi, a café and a licensed bar. The volunteer kitchen provides vegetarian meals, making the venue particularly suitable for organisations interested in sustainability, environmental education, community building and social change.

The venue is managed and operated by trustees, coordinators and seasonal volunteers, creating a friendly and collaborative atmosphere. Organisers can work with the team to shape an event around learning, connection, outdoor living and low-impact hospitality. Green & Away is open only during its summer season, so advance planning is important. It offers an unusual alternative to conventional conference centres, hotels and function rooms for groups wanting their event to feel meaningful, informal and closely connected to nature.
