Walk over Smacam Down with Medical Herbalist Eleanor Gallia collecting wild herbs for the Beltane Brew
The Beltane Beer is a vibrantly energising brew of traditional spring tonic herbs. In the morning we will forage for the herbs with medical herbalist Eleanor Gallia, gathering our cleansing and invigorating ingredients from the ancient chalk downland, Smacam Down. Join us and learn about the historic, medicinal and celebratory properties of our glorious native plants and the trees that play such a prominent role in the Celtic quarter days. The wild spring herbs we harvest will be brewed in the afternoon workshop at Cerne Abbas Brewery. Please wear appropriate shoes and clothing and bring secateurs, gloves and a basket. There is livestock and wildlife on the hill so please do not bring dogs, thank you. Morning incl homemade nettle soup and roll £15. All day (with brewing) £20
