Re-Root at Lime Wood
Just as Lime Wood is enveloped by and rooted in ancient forest, our weary souls and senses are (like it or not) rooted in nature. Humans are just not designed to function at full pelt, 24/7. Our minds and bodies pay the price.
We’ve listened to what our guests are looking for: lightly structured chill time and making the most of our calm, healing surroundings while, crucially, having some creative fun. So here’s a series of re-rooting retreats, events and workshops that tap into the remedial powers of the English countryside.
Join our resident Forager Sammie Longhorn for seasonal foraging, Sammie is a yoga teacher, forager, and community herbalist. Arrive at Lime Wood for 11am and meet at Herb House to head into the forest for a one-hour foraging walk and head back to our glasshouse for refreshments and a Q&A with Sammie.
Join Musician and Gong Master Rich Hale (ex-front man for chill-out band Kinobe) and our resident Breathwork Facilitator, Tracey Howes, as they collaborate for a deep dive into breath and sound.
Hosted by our very own Angela Hartnett, award winning food writer Mark Diacono, and the whole Hartnett Holder & Co team, these evenings are a chance to go beyond the page, digging into the stories and kitchen secrets behind each author’s work. Think honest chat about their writing and creative process, dig deeper into all the things that shaped their careers, and what really fuels their love of food - all wrapped up in an evening that feels more dinner party than panel talk.
Join us at Herb House with Tracey Howes for an exhilarating combination of timed exposure in a traditional sauna and cold plunge paired with functional breathwork and the latest scientific insights, set outdoors in the idyllic Bath Garden. The class focuses on using the breath to help regulate stress, decongest the nose, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and support hormonal fluctuations as well as improving self-awareness of the body. Includes: tea or coffee on arrival, workshop and 2 hours use of the spa after the workshop.
Join Angela, Luke, the HH&Co team and Gaddo Castelli for an evening of evening of wine, Italian-inspired cooking, and stories from the Tenuta Fertuna Estate.
Throughout the evening, Gaddo Castelli from Tenuta Fertuna will guide you through each wine, sharing stories from the estate and the character behind every bottle. Meanwhile, Angela and Luke will serve up some Tuscan classics to perfectly complement the wines - each course a delicious conversation between plate and glass.
We’re so pleased to welcome Gemma McGuigan to Lime Wood for a special three-part workshop series designed to support women through the hormonal transitions of midlife. One of the UK’s leading Functional Medicine and Nutrition practitioners, Gemma is a respected voice in the world of women’s health, known for her deeply personalised and science-led approach. Her work blends cutting-edge research with the wisdom of nature to help individuals understand their bodies, restore their vitality, and take ownership of their long-term wellbeing.
There is nowhere that brings us as much joy as the forest, and we are delighted to host the first-ever C&TH Balance Retreat here at Lime Wood, in the heart of the New Forest National Park.
Join us for a conversation with Peigin Crowley, founder of Ground Wellbeing, Lime Wood's resident forager Sammie Longhorn, and Kate Forrester from Four Acre Farm, on how caring for your skin and gut microbiomes can boost immunity, digestion, and skin health.
Because it’s not only what you put in your body, but also what you put on it.
Bookings are now open for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve at Lime Wood, where nature meets celebration in the heart of the New Forest. Think spa indulgence, wellness rituals, a seasonal Italian feast and dancing under the stars at our magical forest party to welcome 2026.
