Soil and Supper

An ode to the land in the spirit of May Day, with feasting, folk music and storytelling. An evening to bless the ground before the growing season, led by our Head of the Market Garden, Jez Taylor.

The evening will start with a traditional ‘beating of the bounds’ with drinks in hand and spoken word merriment from Jez and Dr Guy Hayward of the British Pilgrimage Trust, followed by an abundant seasonal feast in Heritage House. As night draws in, music and movement carry us into the late hours with folk music, Ceilidh dancing and more.
