300 ACRES OF SUMMER FUN AT THE GROVE

The Grove, located in leafy Chandler’s Cross, is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion, they’ve unveiled the final phase of an extensive three-year hotel-wide refurbishment: new-look rooms and suites in the historic mansion and a stylishly renovated Sequoia spa, which has just partnered with sustainable skincare brand, Bamford. From the award-winning golf course to The Stables restaurant - both of which have also undergone exciting refurbishments - guests can expect truly unforgettable experiences this summer.

Everyman Secret Garden in partnership with Discovery returns from 14th July to 3rd September. Relax under the stars in the Walled Garden with bean bags, beverages and delicious snacks, and enjoy an array of new releases, family favourites and musicals at the popular open-air cinema. Perfect for those with The Grove on their doorstep are the dinner and cinema packages, where guests can dine at one of four restaurants before sitting back to enjoy an evening screening.

As well as the Secret Garden cinema, discover The Grove’s new immersive summer dining popup, Feast on Cloud 9, where enchanting, handcrafted hot air balloons with vintage-style wicker dining baskets will be stationed in the scenic surroundings of the Formal Gardens. Diners will be able to tuck in to a tempting nine-course gourmet tasting menu and afternoon tea – both choices that will send your taste buds soaring!

For those looking for a spot of adventure, an action-packed roster of activities has been carefully created by the hotel’s new Resort Activities Manager, Vaughan. As well as axe throwing, tennis and archery – perfect for all ages - there will be a whole host of kid-friendly sporting experiences. The team at professional rugby club, Saracens, will host their interactive rugby skills staycation on 22nd August, and Football Escapes will be on the agenda on 29th August with a camp led by former Premier League players and UEFA coaches. But if the kids wish to follow in the footsteps of Tiger Woods, the Junior Golf Academy might be just the ticket, hosted by The Grove’s talented team of PGA-qualified professionals.

If it’s simply a day spent in the sun you’re looking for, then look no further than The Grove’s enchanting Walled Garden, where guests can retreat to Ralph’s Beach and lounge by the pool while the kids make a splash and build sandcastles. The pizza ovens at pop-up Italian restaurant, Verde Kitchen will be fired up and The Grove Grill will be on hand to serve a delicious lunchtime barbecue. And after time spent soaking up the glorious sunshine, Sequoia spa promises the perfect escape to cool off. Soothe your sun-kissed skin with a treatment using premium Bamford products, take a dip in the black mosaic-lined indoor pool, or sink under the bubbles in the Jacuzzi.
