About us

Tucked away in 300 acres of Hertfordshire countryside, just 20 minutes from London, The Grove is a vibrant five-star resort with a difference. 214 stylish rooms and individually designed suites blend modern luxury with the charm and character of the estate’s 18th-century heritage. From the award-winning Sequoia Spa and championship golf course to distinctive restaurants and bars – including the renowned buffet restaurant, The Glasshouse – there’s plenty to discover. Step outside and you’ll find woodland trails to wander, alongside a host of activities for all ages, from archery and axe-throwing, to bike rides and musical trails for little ones. In the summer months, the Walled Garden lies at the heart of it all. Home to the newly-refurbished Ralph’s Beach, a heated outdoor pool, and a Kitchen Garden which provides fresh produce for the chefs. Packed with personality and just far enough from the city to feel like a true escape, The Grove is the kind of place you’ll want to return to. Days here are designed to be unhurried and joy-filled, with space to connect, celebrate or simply switch off.

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.
