“Forage your 5-a-day for free & make your own bespoke herb tea!” Put on your walking shoes & come exploring the local wild plants of the Peak District. We will learn medicinal, culinary & other uses for many of the plants we find, brought to life with history, Folk-lore & anecdotes. Be prepared for the world to look a little different when you return, since you will probably be astonished just how interesting so many of our common wild plants are! These Herb Walks are great for couples & private groups. They are relaxed & gentle, normally lasting about 3 hours, with plenty of time to stop & get to know the plants, including tasting & making tea with them where appropriate! Our meeting point is next to the much loved Grindleford Station Cafe, with regular trains from Sheffield & Manchester. Grindleford is surrounded by amazing walks, with Padley Gorge woodland river, Padley Chapel, & Bolehill Quarry’s magical oak & birch woodlands. We will be spoiled for choice which way to go & can decide together! If you would like a time or date that isn’t shown, please contact me, it can often be arranged. Our meeting point may also be flexible for private bookings. Thank you! COVID UPDATE: If you would like to make a wild herb tea, please bring your own flask of boiling water. Guests are required to keep 2 meters apart from anyone who is not “in their social bubble”.

Put on your walking shoes & join us outside the friendly local White Lion Pub. We will introduce ourselves & choose together a beautiful walk route that will suit us all. Great Longstone, is a lovely friendly village, surrounded by stunning countryside, and an abundance of Wild Herbs. I will introduce you to them as we walk, explaining their gifts, with history & folklore.

After a beautiful walk, full of facts & entertaining anecdotes, you may see the world in a whole new light as you return to the welcoming village of Great Longstone! This Walk is a great Experience for couples, families & private group bookings. If you can’t find the date or time you want to book this beautiful Herb Walk for, please contact me with your request, I will try to arrange it for you!

COVID UPDATE: Guests are required to keep 2 meters apart from anyone who is not “in their social bubble” until government guidelines change.

If you have any special requirements please let me know in advance, thank you!

We will run, from the village of Grindleford, along an ancient drovers footpath through local deciduous woodland onto the high moorlands. The run will be between 4 and 8 miles, depending on the abilities of those taking part. It will likely be muddy (depends on the time of year), rocky and rough, and will include some steep hills. The emphasis will be on exploring and having fun, not on fast times. We will stop regularly. I will explain about the local history, we will look for wild deer and birds of prey, and check out some amazing views from little visited spots that you wouldn't otherwise find. Other things to note Don't worry if you aren't a fast runner. I will tailor the run to suit the group. If there is a wide range of abilities I can devise ways of keeping the fitter runner/s busy. The emphasis is on fun!

Design and create your very own bespoke jewellery piece in our award-winning Sheffield studio. We provide you with a range of tools and waxes, and support with any design or making advice and instruction. Bespoke pieces are first crafted in jewellers wax, by you, our guest, at the event. Once complete, and you're happy with the finished wax, we then set the casting wheels in motion. Each wax is individually packed, complete with your finishing guidelines, and shipped to our casting workshop in the heart of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. There, our expert team 'lost wax cast' each piece in solid Gold, Silver, or Platinum. Once cast, we meticulously finish each piece by hand and return, design to doorstep, anywhere in the world, within 3 weeks! CAST is a jewellery making experience. The event is a platform to design, and create, high quality, bespoke jewellery pieces. It is also, and more importantly, an opportunity to socialise, eat, drink, create and collaborate, in an entirely new way. Beautiful, bespoke jewellery pieces, can now be handmade by regular people, with no or little experience, and any level of creativity, in exciting spaces, quite literally, anywhere in the world! Other things to note It is worth having a think about what you'd like to make. Our social media and Pinterest are good places to start. The making process is less about skill or creativity, and more about imagination!
