Less planning means less stress

With so many elements to book and coordinate, planning a weekend away can sometimes turn into a logistical nightmare. With a secret escape weekend break everything is pre-arranged for you. All you need to do is turn up and enjoy the experience, meaning that you’ll be able to have a much more relaxing getaway.

Secret Weekends guests are assigned a dedicated concierge, who takes care of every little detail. They say: “When you book through Secret Weekends, you’ll get access to people, places and experiences inaccessible to the general public.”


Perfect for reigniting your sense of adventure

We’re all so busy that we can sometimes get stuck in a rut when it comes to holidays and mini breaks. Booking a secret escape is perfect for rediscovering the joy of spontaneity. Experiencing something completely new allows you to step out of your comfort zone and leave the day-to-day grind behind.

Luxury experiences are more accessible

You might be surprised to find that the experiences you’ll be able to access come at a lower price overall than if you were to book yourself. Companies offering secret weekend breaks have long-established partnerships making it possible for them to secure the best deals. This means that you’ll be able to enjoy a luxury experience at a fraction of the usual cost.


You’ll be able to discover hidden gems

A secret escape can open the door to destinations and experiences you might have never considered or known about. Discovering something new – whether it’s a beautiful countryside hotel, renowned chef, or an activity you’ve never tried before – will make your weekend away even more special and fun.

Secret Weekends offer privileged access to the magnificent Weston Park in Shropshire. Guests will experience a dining experience curated by acclaimed chef Mark Lloyd, who says:

“I’m beyond thrilled to be cooking alongside the amazing team at Weston Park for our exclusive Secret Weekends event! Together, we’ll be crafting an unforgettable 8-course menu that’s a true celebration of over 20 years of culinary expertise. Think sustainable, wild, and beautifully British ingredients, with a deliciously unexpected Asian/Scandinavian twist. This is our flagship event of the year, and trust me – it’s one you absolutely don’t want to miss!”

Perfect for boosting wellbeing and mental health

Secret escapes often encourage you to unplug and just live in the moment. With the itinerary taken care of, you can relax, re-charge, and fully immerse yourself in the experience. Less device-checking, and the opportunity to experience something totally different provides the perfect mental health boost.


A no-brainer if you’re time-poor

If you simply don’t have time for a long holiday, then booking a secret escape is a win-win! There’s no stressful planning to worry about, and you’ll be able to enjoy maximum relaxation without having to book weeks of annual leave. A secret escape offers the perfect change of scenery if you’re burnt-out from work too.
