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 5th July | 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.
Friday 17th July | Thursday 15th October
Join our resident Forager Sammie Longhorn for seasonal foraging, 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.
Sunday 26th July | Sunday 30th August | Sunday 6th September
Luke and Angela have invited some of their most exciting friends from the culinary world to take over the Asado grill at our HH&Co Forest Kitchen. On one special date, they’ll be joined by two of the UK’s most-loved wine experts, pairing brilliant bottles with each dish to elevate the experience even further.
Whether you’re a devoted foodie, a wine enthusiast, or you're just here to soak up the atmosphere, you can expect an afternoon of playful, fire cooked dishes, perfectly matched wines, and a relaxed setting that only Lime Wood can provide.

Designed to spark curiosity in young explorers, this hands-on experience introduces children to the edible, medicinal and fascinating plants growing all around us, with the chance to sample a selection of wild snacks along the way. The event concludes with refreshments and an informal Q&A with Sammie in the Raw & Cured garden.
