Founded in 1925
Opening as a health farm and known as the Nature Cure Resort, it was the first of its kind in the UK.
Find peace of mind with a stroll through our vast gardens, set amidst the gentle stillness of the countryside.
Already owning Henlow Grange, Springs Health Farm and Forest Mere, purchased in 1981, 1990 and 1995 respectively, the four resorts aligned as one under the Champneys banner.
Growing considerably, Stephen Purdew and his late mother Dorothy guided the brand to even greater heights. Significant refurbishments and renovations have been made, and the brand has grown to include not only the four resorts, but also two hotels and two city spas as well as a range of globally recognised products. Committed to the future of wellbeing, our International College of Health and Beauty (established in 1976) also stands as one of the most respected beauty colleges in the UK.
Champneys has always been a place to be seen, with our paths welcoming pop stars, actors and actresses, high-profile sports men and women, politicians and royalty from the Middle East. Among our most famous patrons are Naomi Campbell, Kylie Minogue, Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris and two of Hollywood’s leading men, Daniel Craig and Brad Pitt. It was also a favourite of the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
