Seasonal Socials are a series of relaxed gatherings held four times a year at the Old Green Studio in Dorset, each inspired by the changing seasons and the principles of slow living. Designed to help you step away from the pace of modern life, they offer the opportunity to reconnect with nature, spend time with like-minded people and experience the seasons in a more meaningful way.
In a world where so much of life happens online or at speed, Seasonal Socials create space to slow down. They are an invitation to gather around the table, enjoy good conversation, spend time outdoors and appreciate the simple pleasures that each season brings. Whether you’re coming alone or with a friend, you’ll find a welcoming environment where there’s no pressure to perform, only an opportunity to pause, connect and enjoy being present.
Each Seasonal Social is inspired by the season we’re celebrating and includes a thoughtfully curated combination of seasonal refreshments, time in nature, creative making and shared experiences. Every gathering is different, allowing you to experience spring, summer, autumn and winter in their own unique way while discovering simple ideas for embracing slow, seasonal living throughout the year.
Our Seasonal Socials are not traditional workshops or formal classes. Instead, they are relaxed experiences where conversation happens naturally, creativity is enjoyed without expectation and nature provides the inspiration. They are designed to nourish curiosity, encourage meaningful connection and remind us of the value of spending time together.
Throughout the year we’ll explore seasonal traditions, botanical ingredients, the changing landscape and simple ways to live more closely with the rhythm of the seasons. From gathering around the table with seasonal food and drink to heading outdoors to notice the natural world, every Seasonal Social is carefully designed to help you feel more connected—to nature, to the seasons and to each other.
Seasonal Socials are suitable for anyone looking to embrace slow living, reconnect with the natural world or simply enjoy a different kind of day out in Dorset. No previous experience is needed, and all materials and refreshments are included. Simply choose your preferred date from the available gatherings and join us for an afternoon inspired by the season.
