Nightingale Dinner
In late May, the nightingales arrive. Have you always wanted to sit and listen to nightingales at leisure and perhaps even try to spot one?
We are planning a one-night stay with a "nightingale dinner" served in the garden, with an evening walk around the lake to count and listen to the male nightingales giving it their all.
May 2021 (tba)
Birdsong Weekend
Go on bird-rich rambles with John Green, former film-maker and zoologist and learn to identify many of the common and garden birds by their song. There will also almost certainly be sightings of harriers, sea eagles, kites and other raptors.
17. & 18. May 2021

Work & Chill
If you join us for the work option, you'll get to hang out with the chickens, pick apples and walnuts and mow the grass. You can help yourself to produce from the garden and go swimming every day.

Apple picking
If you come in the apple picking season, you can pick your own apples and have them juiced in our local juicery.
