Sip & Stroll: The Meadow Sessions
An Evening at Brookside Farm’s organic herb meadow.
Step out of the noise and into the calm.
In two hours of Botanical immersion, let the simple and powerful act of reconnecting with the land work its magic on you in a small group of curious and like-minded people..
The Sip: Garden-to-Glass Alchemy
With a chilled, copper distilled botanical mocktail in your hand, you will get to meet and greet the plants in your glass. We craft our ingredients from organic herbs harvested and preserved using ancient heritage techniques to capture the living essence of the plants you are drinking.
What’s included:
- The Sip: A pre-mocktail tasting of our signature botanical blends - Calm, Clarity and Courage - followed by a delicous expertly crafted mocktail.
- The Stroll: A guided walk through the meadow, woodland and food forest down mown paths, stopping by some of our favourite herb heroes and sharing their stories and soaking up the happy hormones of the trees to a soundtrack of evening birdsong.
- Expert herbal knowledge: A fun, beginner-friendly guide to the wild plants growing outside your doorstep; their main beneficial properties and how you can prepare and use them at home.
- The Takeaway: a 30ml bottle of your choice of Calm, Clarity or Courage, and a freshly picked bunch of aromatic herbs to dry (or plant) at home for your own herbal teas.

The Lore: Meeting the Rebels
Step inside our working apothecary to meet Bella, Bertha, and Bessie - our traditional hand made copper stills. Over our homegrown handcrafted mocktails, we’ll share the story of our inspiration: Nicholas Culpeper, the 17th Century “rebel herbalist” who fought to keep plant knowledge in the hands of the people, and breathe in the heady fragrance of the lush herbs in the Greenhouse.
A wood burning stove and cosy sitting room awaits for you to meet like-minded souls and discover more secrets and stories of the herbs growing in your local parks and countryside.
