Lavender workshops
FROM THE FIELD TO THE STILL: A LAVENDER MASTERCLASS
Wednesday 8 July and Thursday the 9 July 2026
8th of July 10am-2pm, Β£110
From the field to the still, a masterclass in lavender. Spend a day at The Wilde Story learning everything there is to know about lavender. From planting, growing, care, harvesting, distilling and producing a lavender product.
The day begins with tea and coffee, followed by James, the owner of The Wilde Story, taking us out to see the different lavender varieties growing in the fields, teaching you about everything from planting to the distillation.
After all this effort, we then enjoy one of Charlotteβs delicious home cooked Wilde Story lunches. Made using the finest and most local ingredients from our suppliers in Somerset and Dorset. And of course, meat from our own home-reared rare breed pork.
Post-lunch is all about how to use our lavender. Here, Mickie, our skincare practitioner, will walk you through the principles of creating your own balms or skin oils. You will create products that you are able to take home
