Where to go with your community…?
2024 saw us do more press and influencer trips than ever before, but the latest flavour for trips is in fact trips for brands' most engaged community members. It's not new news that influencer trips of course get you that mass-splash, quick reach and fame but community marketing goes in at a different level for nurturing long-term relationships, and adding a much needed dose of authenticity.?
So if you’re looking to strengthen those connections and celebrate your biggest supporters, then do read on where we’ve gathered up (what we think) are the UK’s top destinations for your next community trip:
CABü by the Sea
Set along the Kent coastline, CABü by the Sea brings together rustic charm and beachfront beauty, making it the perfect setting for a community trip with a little bit of everything. Guests can unwind in cosy, Scandi-inspired cabins, take morning dips in the sea, and capture gorgeous shots from every angle (think: golden hour beach strolls and fireside moments). Cabü offers the ideal mix of wellness, style, and adventure that your community won’t be able to resist.
Another Place- The Lake
Great for an outdoorsy/natural brand, Another Place is nestled on the shores of Ullswater in the Lake District and is where wellness meets adventure. It’s not just about the jaw-dropping views (although, trust us, they’re worth the trip alone) but the endless possibilities for creating content. Imagine yoga by the lake, paddleboarding against a backdrop of mountains, and evenings spent fireside with a view - it’s pure magic.?
Carbis Bay Hotel
A little bit of a drive but… worth it we think! Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate brings a dash of luxury to the Cornish coast, complete with its own private beach and waters so blue they belong in the Med. Guests can start the day with a beachside boot camp or paddleboard session, followed by a restorative spa treatment overlooking the waves. There are tonnes of opportunities for sunset hikes along the coastal path and ocean-view dining to refuel, Carbis Bay promises a retreat that feels like a true escape.
Louma Farm & Retreat

Glebe House
Nestled above the village of Southleigh, at Glebe House Devon you’ll find rustic charm paired with modern elegance, from its on-site bakery and vineyard to its curated workshops and inviting spaces. With every step, you’ll feel cleansed from the toll of London life in the relaxed yet refined atmosphere- its the perfect space to inspire your community and create unforgettable memories.
Aller Dorset
As a Dorset gal I needed to include this gem; Imagine escaping to a secluded haven where nature and creativity come together in perfect harmony- that’s Aller Dorset. Set within a sprawling 100-acre estate, the bespoke shepherd's huts provide the ideal spot to unwind and recharge. After a day of exploring or enjoying hands-on workshops, you can end your evening stargazing under the clearest skies. This luxurious yet laid-back retreat is perfect for a fashion brand and offers the perfect balance filled with many moments your community will enjoy.
