      dsc_1219The following morning the guests arrived at Wickham House for a wonderful breakfast before hearing about the activity which had previously been a surprise. The individuals were placed into teams and took part in a corporate treasure hunt around the grounds run by ACF Team Building. It was a huge success and wonderful fun, and even included diffusing a ‘bomb’ and hilarious improvised 2 minute theatre sketches. After, Coates & Seely provided a champagne tasting which was accompanied by delightful canapes and slow cooked pork and roasted sea trout bowl food provided by Spook Catering.
