Soil & Supper with Fielden - Feasting, Music, Dance

Join us for a joyful evening of festivities that revive an ancient tradition connecting us to nature and our land - gather with us to walk the farm's edges, with drinks in hand and music from Ordinary Folk, led by our Director of Growing, Jez Taylor and Guy Hayward, founder of the British Pilgrimage Trust. We will join together for a warming toast to the land crafted by Fielden; before enjoying a relaxed abundant seasonal feast, film, storytelling and revelry. Dance late into the night, led by The Lemon Célilí Co: a magical modern folk band.

We are delighted to partner with Fielden for this event, whose whisky is rooted in the same principles that guide Daylesford: patience, biodiversity and care for the soil. Fielden grows diverse grains that thrive without chemicals, letting nature take the lead. It’s not a new idea, but a return to older, wiser ways. Learn more here.

A night to remind us of the importance of living with the seasons and caring for the soil - a philosophy that sits at the heart of Daylesford Organic and Fielden Whisky.
