Tourism Leisure & Events
The Savills Rural Tourism, Leisure and Events team advise owners and trustees of heritage properties and rural estates on how to set up, develop and operate trading businesses.
About us
Our expertise covers day visitor enterprises, including catering and retail, weddings, corporate events, group accommodation, location filming, outdoor events, holiday cottages and glamping and we help estates, large and small, to establish and develop these enterprises.
We work with private and public sector operators including landowners and estate managers, charities, leisure businesses, property developers and local authorities to help achieve their commercial, business and other organisational objectives.
Our approach is to work collaboratively with our clients, stakeholders and other professional advisors to add value through our breadth of industry experience whilst often also utilising and complementing existing on-the ground knowledge.
We have successfully helped over 200 historic houses and rural businesses, large and small, all over the UK. Clients include major treasure houses but also smaller houses, estates, local authorities, charities, hotel groups, schools and colleges looking for ways to increase trading activity and generate additional income.
