The Woods
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Freshly brewed Surrey Hills Coffee / Cupsmith Tea.
Natural Art Workshop with Surrey Art School.
2-Course Seasonal Lunch with The Salt Box.
We’re combining art and food for a morning beneath the trees with Surrey Art School founder, Ellie Green, followed by a seasonal feast.
Our food and art collaborations guarantee a warm welcome, a gentle dose of mindful creativity and a feast cooked over our flickering flames, inspired by seasonal, local ingredients.
There is a whole microscopic world to explore that sits below the surface of the forest floor. We’ll connect the magic of woodland mushrooms and the mycelium network as we learn how to draw and paint our fungus friends. A delightfully Autumnal workshop that is calming, grounding and deeply satisfying.
Following the workshop, we’ll sit down around our shared dining tables for a two-course lunch.
Our woodland glen is based on a beautiful private estate in South Nutfield, just outside of Redhill, a 30 minute direct train from London. We are fully covered with our woodland shelter in the event of wet weather, but please do ensure to dress appropriately.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and Ellie’s gentle and mindful approach to teaching will encourage your confidence levels to bloom and your technical skill to blossom.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
Our menus are best suited for flexible, adventurous eaters with a strong focus on seasonally and locally inspired ingredients, including wild and foraged foods sourced from nature’s larder.
Due to the nature of our events and in order to uphold high-quality standards we are only able to accommodate limited dietary requests at our dining events and cookery courses. Our dining events are intimate affairs with small groups, centred around a set menu lovingly prepared in our remote woodland kitchen by our small kitchen team, therefore preparing a separate menu to cater for dietary needs is not always possible.
Dietary needs must always have been communicated and approved prior to booking your seat at our table, and must be advised to our team no later than 7 days prior to the event so that our chef’s can make the necessary arrangements.
please note
Our dining spot is a 7-10 minute walk from our Parking area, with a section uphill. Toilet facilities are available near the Parking area by our barn.
Instructions on how to find us and where to park, will be sent to you prior to the event via email.
PLEASE NOTE
We really hope to be able to release further tickets to all of our 2021 events, once we have a better indication of what ongoing COVID-19 restrictions may be in place for us all. For the meantime, if an event is showing as fully booked, please add your name to our Waiting List, and we’ll be sure to get in touch if any further tickets are made available.
Please note that due to the additional COVID-19 restrictions in place, tickets to our events and courses are currently only available for a minimum of 2 guests per booking. At our courses, each booking group (2+) will share a fire-pit and cookery station, to ensure social distancing between all guests. This will be reviewed as and when government guidelines are revised.
