We know that your budgets won’t stretch to Blackbeard’s diamond so we’ve hidden a case of rather tasty liquor in some nearby woods in Moreton for you to find. As with all buried treasure, the search won’t be easy, but don’t worry our experienced smugglers Elzevier and Trenchard will be there to guide you through some practical tasks in the wood that will not only lead you to the treasure, but also enrich your leadership and team building skills.

Winter Pimm’s in Front of the Fire
Come to the Drawing Room if you dare… We’ll light the fires and pour the drinks just before dinner. Who sleeps in the hotel’s haunted bedroom?

A Night with Grace Maskew’s Ghost
It is said that the ghost of Grace Maskew, John Trenchard’s love, can be seen at the window looking out across the Fleet in the room that shares her name. Who will be the lucky person to sleep in this room? Maybe the person who didn’t pull their weight in the treasure hunt or the person who has been the laziest in the office all year…you decide!

Dinner and Downstairs
Enjoy a three course dinner in our 2 AA rosette restaurant, where scallops with an aromatic mussel and ginger broth, sweet crab cakes with an orange and saffron butter sauce and duck breast with seriously crispy skin and a lush meaty jus are regulars. After filling your boots, it’s down to the cellar for some contraband and to crack open Blackbeard’s treasure! Of course, all our liquor is legitimate and a full selection will be made available to you and your work colleagues.

All these events are based on a one night stay, however we can cater for longer should this be required. We advise groups to arrive at Moonfleet by 11am to ensure maximum benefit from the Find Blackbeard’s Treasure event. This activity is provided by Whitehorse Leadership training at their training centre in Moreton (30 minute drive from Moonfleet).

The aim of the training is to:
Improve staff retention and overall morale whilst reducing stress.
Provide an environment in which people are passionately dedicated to winning.
Increase productivity with more efficient high performance teams able to communicate.
