About this Event
Uncover the plants professed to hold healing properties with a tour of the Library's collection of historic herbals dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, guided by our rare books librarian.
Then, discover a number of herbs that can support our bodies over the colder months under the guidance of Nat from Hackney Herbal.
Take inspiration from a selection of festive flavours, as we use an assortment of organic botanicals, spices and berries to blend our own festive drinks.
Create a herbal tea and a festive herbal chai blend (caffeine-free), which could be used for mulling wine or apple juice for an alcohol-free alternative.
