If you want to organise a corporate event that your staff, management team or key clients will remember, use the great outdoors as your meeting space. We offer bespoke corporate events set against the stunning natural backdrop of Rømø, fostering a sense of community through activities such as foraging and cooking. There’s plenty of time for informal chat and meaningful team-building activities. And in surroundings that are out of the ordinary, good ideas tend to bubble up.
Should the meal consist of food you have foraged yourselves?
Together we head out into Rømø’s beautiful countryside and forage for the ingredients for a meal based on Rømø’s flavourful larder. Our nature guides will tell you about the unique nature in and around the Wadden Sea – a natural area designated as both a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Together, we’ll prepare the food in our cosy, rustic campfire hut, where everyone can enjoy a delicious meal made with local ingredients from the wild.
The season determines the menu
Wadden Sea hot dogs (May to September): We forage for saltbush on the salt marsh and, combined with lamb sausages from the Rømø butcher, grilled over an open fire and served with home-baked bread, we have a delicious Wadden Sea hot dog. The herbs from the salt marsh are used for ‘pickled gherkins’, ‘remoulade’ and ‘mustard’, as well as homemade ketchup with wild thyme. (We also have vegan sausages.)
Prawn fishing (June to August): We head to the beach and sweep for horse prawns with a prawn net. The cooked prawns require a bit of peeling but have an intense and powerful flavour. The prawns can also be coated in flour and spices and deep-fried in hot oil, turning into delicious crisps that can be eaten whole. If we catch some good shore crabs, we’ll try those too.
Oysters (October to April): We walk on the mudflats and gather oysters. We taste raw oysters in all their forms and bake them in the campfire hut with everything from cheese, cream, apples, bacon and pickled red onions.
A sea of possibilities
We have many different activities on offer and can put together a short session, a full day or a longer programme to suit your needs. If you need to add a meeting room or a team-building element, please let us know. And we have partners who offer accommodation and conference facilities on the island.
If you’re not interested in foraging and cooking, we can, for example, go on a Wadden Sea walk where you’ll get mud between your toes and lugworms in your hands. You can feel the breath of history as we explore the World War II bunkers. Or we can stay indoors and listen to a talk on a topic of your choice.
A trip that contributes to your green credentials (ESG)
If you’d like activities that count towards your green profile, we can combine the trips with built-in litter picking, helping the beautiful Ensian blue butterfly, or insect hotels and biodiversity – in other words, a corporate event that helps nature and counts towards your ESG reporting.
Litter and marine debris: We bring litter bags with us to the beach, the salt marsh and the heath. Every year, the sea washes tonnes of litter onto Rømø, and this litter often blows into the dunes and across the heath. When we’re foraging for herbs, gathering oysters or fishing for prawns, we might as well pick up any litter we come across. This is a huge help to nature and wildlife and helps to reduce the amount of plastic and microplastics in the environment.
Help the rare Alcon blue butterfly: Using work gloves and hand saws, we create open areas on the heath. This creates optimal living conditions for the small groups of Ensian blue butterflies, a beautiful and endangered species found in the Wadden Sea. Ten people can make a huge difference in just half an hour. And the story of the butterfly is absolutely fantastic – we’ll tell you that too.
Biodiversity and insects: Together, we build insect hotels that create ideal habitats for bees, beetles and all the other insects on which nature depends. Participants build an insect hotel to take home and one to be set up in the woods near Tønnisgård. This promotes greater biodiversity in the Wadden Sea and in the participants’ own homes. We’ll talk about key species and the interplay between plants and insects in nature.
Wild by Design: We’re running a mini-course on ‘Wild by Design’. We prepare a small area to encourage greater biodiversity and we discuss and work with seed mixes, depleted soil, brushwood fences and other elements that improve living conditions and increase biodiversity. Participants gain knowledge they can take home and use in their own gardens or on company grounds.
