Virtual Tours

If you’ve attended Stronger Together in the past, you’ll be well acquainted with our bus tours! Normally we spend a day taking delegates on a magical mystery tour of some of the best in the business, going behind the scenes and getting an inside perspective from your peers.

Our tours this year will be held virtually, and have been professionally filmed in advance. The films will give you a real flavour of each business, with the intention of making you feel like you’ve paid them a visit from the comfort of your own home.

Each filmed tour will be followed by a live Q&A with the owner, to allow you to delve into any unanswered questions.

Darts

From the humble beginnings of the farm shop hut nearly 50 years ago, Darts Farm has organically evolved into the unique lifestyle shopping destination it is today, with a working farm at the heart. The Devon based Darts brothers are well known in the industry as innovators and risk takers, frequently sweeping the board at national awards. Here, we go behind the scenes with a virtual tour of Darts Farm featuring business insights from Michael Dart. The tour will be followed by a live Q&A with Michael.
