More than 3000 people pass through Hawkwood's doors each year. A third of these are part of outside groups coming for their away days, special theme conferences or team building retreats. The outside groups comprise many well-known local and national organisations, including: Stroud and Gloucester Social Services, Victim Support, osteopathic training events, Gestalt in Organisations, Forum for the Future, Kitty Baron Riding for the Disabled, The National Trust, Soil Assosiation, Bath University, Severn NHS Trust, and many more. They enjoy Hawkwood for its peacefulness, the beautiful site, the friendly service and the ethos - not to mention its reputation for delicious food! Many comment that there is no other place like Hawkwood in the region. One local government group, on an away day, said it was "the best venue in town!"
