Songs of the Seeds - Dumfries 05/09/26
About this Event
Each event begins with a gentle guided nature trail and ends around a shared table, inviting guests to experience a place through all five senses - sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.
Each gathering is rooted in a location that holds personal significance. From Hebden Bridge, where we met, to Dumfries and Galloway, where we had our first date, Manchester where Sherel was born, Sheffield where Dunc was born, and the landscapes of Derbyshire, Leeds, Liverpool and Dorset that have inspired us along the way.
Alongside seasonal food, original live music and storytelling, guests are introduced to local plants, traditional folklore, preservation techniques and the hidden stories woven through each landscape.
