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.

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 Lindsey from Dorset Forest Bathing for a gentle evening walk through the woods as autumn reveals its magic. This is a chance to slow down and experience the woodland as daylight fades, noticing the vibrant fungi, rich seasonal colours, and the quiet transformation of the forest at dusk. We’ll pause along the way to listen and look more closely, with the possibility of glimpsing deer, bats, or owls as they stir into the night.

After time spent immersed in nature, return to Raw & Cured to enjoy light refreshments and a moment of reflection together.

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 our resident Forager Sammie Longhorn for seasonal foraging, Sammie is a yoga teacher, forager, and community herbalist.
