Double Double Toil And Trouble – Herbology Lessons
We are returning to the medieval kitchen of St Nicholas Priory with our popular Herbology lessons on 30th October!
Children (and their adults) will have the opportunity to look through a 200-year-old herbal, experiment with herbs and learn about natural remedies. In the setting of the medieval kitchen and wearing cloaks throughout the experience, participants will learn how to identify plants and make herbal drawings, understand famous Shakespearean references and discuss how to keep a mandrake from screaming (noisy little thing!).
Tea and coffee will be available for accompanying adults and we’ll have seasonal books for you to look at while the children are in their lesson.
The lessons are led by experienced practitioners Drs Morgane and Spencer, who bring their considerable expertise in art and literature, journalling and working with “nature on our doorstep” to this fun yet educational adventure in connecting with the seasons and the plants we find around us. For children aged 5-11. All references to certain well-known wizarding schools and their famous alumni are entirely intentional.
