Come and experience Bowshiel Wood. Be part of the landscape restoration, and dine in our beautiful woodland. The whole experience lasts about five hours.

Through the summer months, we are open to the public for pre-booked lunch-time dining experiences and for corporate events and private parties. Woodland Feasts presents an opportunity to come and experience Bowshiel, be part of the landscape restoration, and dine in our beautiful woodland. Through the summer months, we are open to the public for pre-booked lunch-time dining experiences and for corporate events and private parties by arrangement. Guests arrive at the carpark (also our log yard) and walk into the woodland to a clearing where the ‘Shiel’ or shelter, made from our logs milled on site. It sits in dappled shade with the Pease Burn bubbling through. Guests are welcomed with a wild (foraged) drink and an introduction from our woodsman on the history and ongoing management of the woodland. This is followed by a woodland experience, ranging from tree planting to woodland foraging, woodland yoga, charcoal making, cider making or bee keeping (depending on the time of year). Following the experience, guests return to the Shiel for a three-course lunch cooked over our own charcoal and open fires and with all ingredients sourced from the site or from our Berwickshire and North Northumberland neighbouring farms and food producers. Drinks, including foraged tea and cordials, are provided and guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol. All courses are served “en famille”, so diners share each course, giving them the opportunity to meet new, like-minded, people and create stimulating conversation. Each event caters for a maximum of 24 people, allowing visitors to enjoy an intimate experience.

We had a fabulous day last month with a lovely team from and Millar & Bryce who are, together, planting 400 trees as part of an exciting nature positivity partnership. And eating some foraged food to keep themselves going! Looking forward to the next day planting together. Thank you, as ever, to for advice, tools and all your support on this journey. DM us if you would like to have a day of fun and great food in the woods.
