We’re thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity in collaboration with our friends at 42 Acres — regenerative estate, nature reserve, and wellbeing retreat centre. Be The Earth Foundation is offering 10 grants of £5,000 each to help aligned individuals and organisations host their own retreats at this stunning location, nestled in the outskirts of Frome, Somerset.
What Is the 42 Acres Subsidy Pot?
Be The Earth Foundation has created a special Subsidy Pot to support retreats that align with our mission of nurturing wellbeing, connection, and regeneration. Whether you're a team seeking rejuvenation or a community group in need of deep connection to nature — we want to help you bring your vision to life in this extraordinary setting.
We will be awarding 10 grants of £5,000 each, which will go towards covering the cost of a retreat at 42 Acres during 2025.
Please see the following price breakdown example to give you an idea of costs:
12 Person Retreat, inc. all food / hospitality
High Season Weekday
Farmhouse & Rettig
2 nights
£4,988.80 inc VAT
Please note, depending on your group size and requirements, the £5,000 grant may not cover the entire retreat cost, and you'll be responsible for paying the surplus.
The 42 Acres Experience: More Than Just a Retreat
42 Acres is a place where nature, wellbeing, and regeneration meet. Set across 173 acres of wild spaces, ancient woodlands, and a seven-acre lake, this regenerative retreat centre offers transformative experiences for those seeking to reconnect with nature and themselves.
From their “Soil to Gut" menu — featuring meals prepared with ingredients grown and foraged right on the estate — to immersive activities like yoga, wild swimming, and foraging workshops, every moment at 42 Acres is designed to nourish body and soul. You can even explore the estate’s natural beauty on a beaver walk or unwind in the wood-fired sauna.
With nearly a decade of experience hosting life-changing retreats and team-building activities, 42 Acres specialises in creating spaces where creativity, connection, and growth can flourish. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger event, 42 Acres offers flexible accommodations across its beautifully designed historic buildings — even featuring a charming tiny boat for a cosy, unique stay!
