The Fire Table invites you to step away from the everyday and into the slower rhythm of life at Ash Croft (our Pygmy-scaled smallholding). Gather in the softly-lit shelter; a roofed, open-sided space with heating. The air is fresh, so wrap up warmly, but the food, drinks and atmosphere are full of comfort.
Pygmy goats Joan and Dawn add their own gentle mischief, making sure no moment feels too serious as you carve pumpkins with an elegant twist. Our goats and hens will gratefully share in the spoils before you warm up with a hearty meal of cauldron soup and smoked cheese scones. You’ll gently forage for elements to complete your autumn lanterns which will be lit to admire over tea and cake before you carry them home.
All dietary requirements can be catered for when mentioned at time of booking. Workshops take place within a sheltered space and will only be cancelled in the most extreme weather. Please dress with the elements in mind: sturdy footwear and practical layers are essential, for although Ash Croft is Pygmy-scaled it still knows big weather and plenty of mud. Each workshop is designed for just four guests, creating a private and unhurried pace, but private groups of up to six can be welcomed on request.
