Step into the magic of the season at Happy River for a day of creativity, connection & celebration of nature at this festive time of year.

☕️We’ll begin the morning with a warming drink before an immersive walk into the forest, where you’ll gather extra materials for your wreath and immerse yourself
in the calming practice of Shirin Yoku (forest bathing). Guided meditation will help you slow down, connect with the land, and welcome the spirit of winter 🌳

🎄Afterwards, armed with foraged treasures, you’ll return to our cosy retreat HQ for a wreath-making workshop, led by our expert guide. Using natural materials provided, along with your hand-picked finds from the forest, you’ll craft a truly unique and personal festive wreath.

🍽️As you create, you’ll be treated to a grazing board of plant-based festive delights, designed to nourish and inspire.

🔥We’ll close the day gathered around the fire, sipping on a warming mulled festive mocktail and enjoying a minced pie. Together, we’ll release anything we no longer wish to carry into the flames, opening space for new beginnings as the year draws to a close.

Limited tickets 🎟️ grab yours before it’s fully booked. We can’t wait to welcome you ✨

🎄Adult ticket £70

🎄Bring-a-friend/couple ticket £130*
