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.
Sunday 20th September
Join Alex Irwin 10am-12pm for an autumn Forest Bathing experience in the heart of the New Forest. As the leaves begin to turn and the forest shifts towards the quieter season, wander beneath the trees and immerse yourself in the sights, scents and sounds of nature at this special time of year.
Monday 21st September | Monday 28th September
We’re delighted to welcome back Gemma McGuigan to Lime Wood for a special three-part Longevity Workshop series, offering tools and insights to support everyday health and long-term vitality.
Tuesday 22nd September | Wednesday 21st October | Wednesday 11th November
Join us each month at Lime Wood for a relaxed evening of good food and even better conversation, as we welcome some of the most inspiring food authors to the New Forest for our Book Club series.
Angela has invited a seriously good line up of her foodie friends to join us: Tom Parker Bowles, Honey & Co’s Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer, and the inimitable Rick Stein. Tickets are selling fast... don't get left on the shelf!
Saturday 10th October | Saturday 28th November
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.
Thursday 15th October | Thursday 26th November

Sunday 18th October
Join us at Herb House with Tracey Howes for a restorative wellness session combining breathwork, timed sauna exposure, and cold plunges, guided by the latest scientific insights. Includes: tea or coffee on arrival, the workshop, and 2 hours’ use of the spa following the session.
Wednesday 21st October
Join Lindsey from Dorset Forest Bathing for a restorative woodland walk and experience the beauty of the forest as autumn settles in. Slow down, reconnect with nature and discover the rich seasonal colours, vibrant fungi and wildlife that emerge as daylight fades, before returning to Raw & Cured for light refreshments and reflection.
'Hosted' is an intimate kitchen table supper in the HH&Co Backstage Kitchen. Choose an evening hosted by Luke, or select dates where Angela joins him for something truly special. Each date is booked exclusively for one private group of up to ten guests, enjoying a relaxed four-course, Italian-inspired feast. Think less restaurant and more being welcomed into a great friend’s home for supper!
