Heckfield Place

Spend a day surrounded by colour and fragrance at Heckfield Place’s Home Farm Flower Arranging Workshop. Begin with a visit to the biodynamic Market Garden, where up to 5,000 fresh stems are grown each week for the house. Guided by Heckfield’s resident florist, you’ll learn how to choose, cut and prepare your own blooms straight from the earth.

Back in the Glass House, you’ll arrange your flowers into a graceful bowl design, guided by expert hands and creative inspiration. Enjoy tea, coffee and cake as you craft your piece.

Spend a peaceful day by the water at Heckfield Place’s Lower Lake, home to carp, perch, tench and rudd. Whether you’re a first-time angler or an experienced fisher, a team is on hand to set you up, guide your technique and share tips for a rewarding catch.

Surrounded by the gentle calm of the estate’s walled gardens, this is fishing at its most relaxing—no rush, just the quietness of nature and the occasional ripple on the lake’s surface. It’s the perfect way to slow down, focus and enjoy the simple pleasure of time outdoors.

Discover the art of cocktail making in a workshop that brings together nature, creativity and craft. Begin with a guided walk through Heckfield Place’s woodlands, foraging for fresh herbs, blossoms and wild plants while learning about their unique flavours and qualities.

Back at the bar, the expert team will show you how to blend your finds with house-made liqueurs and tinctures to create refined, seasonal cocktails. Each drink tells a story of the estate’s land and the moment it was gathered—a celebration of freshness, imagination and the simple joy of crafting something beautiful from the world around you.
