Cheltenham's famous Promenade dates back to 1818 at the height of the Regency period, when the avenue of elms and horse chestnut trees was first planted. The spa was surrounded by pleasure gardens (most of which are still preserved as the Imperial Gardens). The Cheltenham Promenade now has a reputation as one of the best preserved and most beautiful thoroughfares, and is now a nostalgic modern hub with smart cafes, shops and bars blending in with a historic facade. A poll by Google in 2011 is said to have named the Promenade in Cheltenham as one of the top five shopping streets in the UK.

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.

Additional details

Cheltenham is one of the most easily accessible destinations in the UK, it is the perfect base to explore with the beautiful countryside and quintessential Cotswolds on our doorstep. Let me tell you a few of my favourite places to visit within an hour or so of Ellenborough Park: firstly, the historic Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, it houses Britain’s oldest and most prestigious university and the first known museum in history – the Ashmolean Museum. Also, local to us are the ancient Roman Baths and thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in. Or why not take a royal stroll through the private residence of Their Majesties The King Charles III and The Queen Consort at the Highgrove House and Gardens.
