GIN AND TONIC EXPERIENCE
You will immerse yourself into the wonderful world of gin. We will guide you through the botanical plants and spices which are used to create gin. We will then invite you to fashion your own two gin creations to sip, sit back and relax with.
FRAGRANCE EXPERIENCE
Our Fragrance Experience is the ultimate way to relax, rewind and reward your special occasion. Perfumery is the art of blending fragrant botanical essential oils to create a perfume designed especially for you. This is the perfect way to celebrate special occasions such as wedding, product launches, birthdays, hens’ parties or family-get-togethers – all with a unique and natural twist. You will take your fragrance home with you.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, you guys are fantastic!” 🙂 Emma, Head Hen
