Itinerary

  • Meet Lucy and the Charringtons cider makers at Cryals Farm as we begin with a short introduction to the farm and orchards, including an insight into sustainable apple growing and artisan cider production.

  • A gentle walk through the orchards to a tent nestled amongst the apple trees, with simple nature connection invitations along the way to help you slow down, arrive and fully settle into the landscape.

    On arrival, guests will be welcomed with a glass of Charrington’s apple juice.

  • A deeply restorative sound bath led by Sami Fitz, inviting you to slow down, release tension and settle into a state of rest and presence.

    Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the orchard, you'll be guided into a meditative experience using a range of instruments, such as crystal singing bowls, chimes and other therapeutic sounds. As the sounds wash through the space, guests are invited to simply lie back, listen and receive.

    No experience is necessary. Whether you're seeking relaxation, reflection or simply a pause from the busyness of everyday life, this session offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a beautiful natural setting.


    Drawing on her practice of weaving connections between Mother Nature, inner harmony and soul growth, Joanne will gently guide guests in creating personal floral pieces inspired by the orchard landscape. This is not a traditional flower arranging workshop, but a slow and intuitive exploration of colour, texture and seasonal form — inviting presence, creativity and a deeper connection to the natural world. Guests will work with seasonal flowers and foliage, creating their own arrangement or nature-inspired piece to take home. No experience needed — this is a space for exploration rather than perfection.

  • A guided tasting of Charrington’s cider and apple juice, exploring flavour, process and the character of the orchard.

    Followed by a relaxed shared lunch celebrating seasonal produce, with homegrown vegetables and orchard-inspired flavours.

  • A final slow gathering in the orchard with gentle nature-based practices and space for reflection before walking back to the farm.

  • We’ll take a walk back to Cryals Farm and guests will also have the opportunity to purchase Charrington’s cider and apple juice before departing.
