Summer Solstice Natural Crafting Day

Guests will choose to spend the day creating bespoke tonic tea with Yasmin Kerr, Medical Herbalist and founder of Honeysuckle Herbal or creating a seasonal wreath with Niki Angus Campbell, otherwise known as Dawn Willowcraft and maker of willow and foraged material baskets.

The day will start by foraging across the farm for materials for your creations. On the way you'll learn about the seasonal botanicals found on the farm.

Guests will return to our Events Barn, where a light lunch, making use of Shillingford veggies, will be served.

The afternoon will be spent creating bespoke tea or seasonal wreaths with Yasmin and Niki.

To complete the day, guests will receive a farm tour on our tractor-trailer!
