FABLE TO TABLE — THE AUTUMN EQUINOX GATHERING Extravagant Nature invites you to join our table…

As summer gives way to autumn, gather with us for an intimate afternoon of wild-foraged food, ancient folklore and forgotten rituals.

Come sit amongst the trees as we mark the Autumn Equinox — that fleeting moment when light and dark stand in perfect balance.

Gather around our fireside table, we’ll explore the strange and beautiful traditions of Britain’s harvest season: the old customs, ancient rituals and long-forgotten folktales that once connected people intimately to the turning of the year.

Expect a specially curated wild-foraged tasting menu, inspired by the seasonal harvest, full of surprises and designed to connect you with both land and lore.

SELL-OUT WARNING: Our pop-up gatherings are notoriously popular. Due to the intimate nature of the experience — and the small-batch nature of our wild ingredients — places for this ritual tasting are strictly limited.
