So what is it?
Set within 55 acres of nature, just 30 mins from London, Birch (handle.silk.comet) is part hotel, part foodie haven, part members’ club, part working space, part wellness getaway, part creative hub, and all parts fun.
Sleep sound.
Birch (handle.silk.comet) is full of cool and creatively crafted bedrooms. Some small and cosy. Others large and light – ideal for a family takeover or a friend’s sleepover.
Whatever you pick, one GIANT bed awaits.
Eat well. Really well.
From The Zebra Riding Club our star attraction (FYI: it’s open to anyone, no need to be a guest or member) to the Lido Kitchen making Mexican. The Tipi hosting pop up eats . Valeries doing all-day dining. And bars all over the place doing low, no, and lip-smackingly good cocktails and drinks.
We will sustain you from breakfast through to dinner.
Take it easy. But take it.
Members and guests can enjoy a whole host of freebie fun.
There’s the Screening Room showing classics, blockbusters, docs and more. The Interactive Bakery for croissants and cakes. Or the Arcade, Music Room, and Art Studio to play in.
Push it. Push it real good.
Head to the Wellness Space to sweat, stretch, and cycle.
Work out in the morning. Try a treatment in the afternoon.
Stay young. Stay fun.
Enjoy a stacked programme of creative workshops (like axe throwing, bread baking, and clay pot making), weekly events (e.g. bingo, live DJs, and fresh comedy), colossal celebrations (see summer festivals and Bank Holiday shindigs), and school holiday activities (like Young Adventurers Club or Kids Art Club).
CO-WORKING SPACE
All in a day’s work.
The Hub is our communal working space. Take a call, write some emails, do some reading.
You can book a private meeting room for an hour or day. Or host a company away-day, launch, or event (you don’t need to be a member or guest to organise something for your company).
Wet, wet, wet.
Dip, sip or kip at our outdoor Lido.
Open to members and guests, expect refreshing rosés, poolside DJs, and outrageous unicorn inflatables.
Go slow and savour.
Walk, roam, or run around 55 acres of nature. There are trails to take, woods to get lost in, and foraging or gardening to try. Meet the pigs, say hi to the hens, count some sheep.
Events
Arrive hungry. Leave satisfied. From workshops and gigs, to talks and parties, here’s what’s going on at Birch…
We love fresh sourdough at Birch. Join our bakers in any, or all, of the daily rituals we undertake to make our delicious sourdough every morning. Each session lasts about 10 minutes and there’s no need to book. Just step inside. See what’s going on. Ask a question or two. Then leave whenever you’re ready.
FREE
All ages
Overseen by Birch’s in-house studio manager Bryony Applegate, our ongoing programme of pottery classes runs seven days-a-week across two pottery studios. From ‘having a go’ to fully immersing yourself in the joys of making and shaping forms, we welcome all levels of skill and highly recommend you try pottery at Birch.
From £29 / person
From ages 12+
Every Thursday, Friday & Saturday.
Music is the soul of life, and that certainly rings true at Birch. Great music to backdrop hanging out, eating and drinking, chilling out, dancing without abandon… you can do it all at Birch, every week.
Our beautiful outdoor ‘DJ cube’ is open and in action every Thursday until 9pm and every Friday and Saturday until 10pm, and then we have more fun inside at Links Bar until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Planted’s stunning mobile off-grid cabin is available for nature-based stays at Birch for a limited time only this summer. We all dream of remote cabin living and with a growing interest in reducing our footprint on the land through renewable energy generation and conscientious consumption, Planted’s beautifully designed solar powered cabin provides a unique sustainable living experience.
Sunday night’s on us
Craving a weekend break? Book for Friday and Saturday night, and get Sunday night on us. You don’t have to use it. We just feel that extra night allows you to settle into Sunday so you can make the most of your weekend.
Work out. Wander around. Make things, bake things, play things.
From The Zebra Riding Club to Valeries, our drinks bars to our juice bar, there’s plenty on the menu at Birch.
The dream ticket
Switch off from the noise and pressures of daily life in our well-crafted, warm, and carefully considered rooms. The biggest beds we could fit in a room, and brand new Simba mattresses, mean we’ve made you the perfect bed… Now lie in it.
Your new playground
Become a member and get an access all areas pass to Birch… Drop into an event or workshop. Drink in one of our three bars. Work in The Hub. Work out in the Wellness Space. Stop us if we’re boring you…
Give fun, give Birch
Forget giving a loved one a perspex dividing screen.
Instead, give them Birch. Or more specifically, give them a voucher for a Birch stay, meal, or membership.
