Christmas and New Year at 42 Acres reflects this ancient rhythm, with time to slow down, reflect on the year that has been, and tend to the relationships that will carry the team forward.
Gather around the fire in our oak forest glade, an ancient woodland that has offered sanctuary for 13 centuries, make something of the land with your hands, or build a living legacy in the landscape that will endure for decades to come. Come together around a long, shared table for a unique wild winter lunch featuring ingredients organically-grown and wild-foraged right here.

For small local teams who want to celebrate differently, this is a chance to come together with other like-minded organisations and make your Christmas gathering part of something bigger.
10am: Everything at 42 begins with the land. We’re restoring ecosystems and discovering that, as we heal the land, we heal ourselves too. Gather around the fire, an elemental ritual as old as time. A welcome drink of mulled apple juice lands you in this time and place, these apples were grown just a few steps away. We’ll host a fireside experience designed to bring your team into deeper connection.
11am: Choose your Wild Experience, designed to cultivate a deeper sense of belonging, both with each other and with the natural world.
Wild Winter Crafting: Settle beside a roaring fire and work with natural materials from the land, slowing down and making something together*

Learn the ancient skill of grafting as your team creates a fledgling apple orchard. Take cuttings from our existing apple trees and graft them onto rootstock, creating dozens of young fruit trees.
This hands-on experience builds practical skills, encourages collaboration, and connects to food resilience. These trees will continue to grow, creating a living legacy for your team.
We invite you to name the orchard, adding it to our map and official records. You’re welcome to revisit to plant out your trees, and eventually picnic under their boughs.
Indoors & Outdoors, Moderate Effort
