Green & Away

Green & Away is the UK’s oldest environmental conference centre - now an all purpose outdoor venue. In 2020 it celebrates its 30th birthday after providing a space for outdoor environmentally sound conferences and events for a wide range of organisations.

Each year Green & Away builds a village under canvas near Worcester for 200 people - kitchen, cafe, meeting spaces, furnished bedroom tents, solar electricity, composting toilets, wood showers, all using a team of volunteers, and we use the site to teach about the environment. When it began, it was the only venue in Europe set up to be environmentally sustainable. Now every year we see a steady flow of interns and volunteers learning about how to run an environmentally sound human settlement at first hand.

Our first events were for organisations in the environmental movement - the Soil Association, the Green Party, the New Economics Foundation etc. Now we also cater for weddings, anniversary

parties, company retreats etc - all of which mean that we are not just preaching to the converted. Many are the people who have said that time with us has changed their lives. Our ethos is that events must be beautiful and comfortable, and that the reason so many decisions our species make are bad for the planet is because we live our lives separated from nature. At Green & Away we live closer to nature, so we can appreciate the changes we need to make to live more sustainably.

ecoYoga, Argyll

Nick and Rachel created the ecoYoga Centre at Inverliever Lodge as an expression of their belief in a healthy, happy, carbon-free and sustainable lifestyle. The transformation from an old outdoor centre to its present incarnation as a luxurious but still genuinely ‘eco’ holiday experience is now complete. Set in magnificent Scottish scenery; hills, lochs, rivers and forests abound.

The ecoYoga Centre is totally off-grid, powered by our small hydro-electric power

station, plus solar panels. Our water comes directly from a natural spring situated just above the centre, making us both ‘off-grid’ and truly sustainable.

Relax and rejuvenate in luxurious ‘eco’ style by soaking in our natural wooden hot tub, or in one of our hideaway bathing spots near the river. We run yoga retreats throughout the year or when retreats are not running stay with us on a self-catering basis.
