There’s always something unfolding at Pendle Plant Craft.
From foraging walks and shared meals, crafting, learning, and simply being in nature together.
Some sessions are guided. Some are open. All are shaped by the people who come.
No pressure. No expectations. Just an open invitation to step into something a little different 🌿
If you’re unsure where to start, come along to anything that feels right. There’s always a brew on, and someone to welcome you in
Weekly Schedule W/C 31.08.2026
Monday 31 August – Closed (click to see more)
Pendle Plant Craft is built on openness, and everyone is always welcome.
At times, the cabin is used for private or supported sessions, where a quieter, more held space is needed. On these days, the cabin may be closed to general drop-ins.
We love the spontaneity of people arriving and finding their way here, but we gently ask that you check this page before coming, just to avoid a wasted journey.
Even when the cabin is closed, the surrounding nature is always open, and just as much a part of what we share.

Wednesday 2 September – All welcome at the cabin for our usual shenanigans (click to see more)
.We’ll be at the cabin from 10:30am into the early evening, following whatever the day, and those who gather, naturally calls for. It might be:
* Foraging and wandering the landscape
* Conservation work and quiet connection with the reserve
* Cooking, crafting, feasting, and learning together with the seasons
No two days are ever the same, but the rhythm is simple: we’ll be there, making, learning, sharing, and living gently on the land.
A soft outline of the day:
10:00 — arrive, settle in, have a brew or a snack.
11:00 — head out for a forage in whichever direction the hedgerows invite
Lunchtime — return to the cabin, cook together, eat together.
Afternoon — conservation, crafting, creating, learning, resting, connecting… and if the flow is right, we sometimes stay for tea too
You’re also welcome to use the space in your own way.
If you’d like to bring a craft project and tuck yourself into the calm of the zen space, beautiful.
If you home educate and want to use the desks or resources for maths, English, nature learning, or collaborative projects with other families. Please do.
You can join in with whatever we’re doing, do your own thing alongside us, or move between the two. And of course, if you’d simply like to nip in for a brew and a breather, you’re always welcome.

Sunday 6 September- Late Summer Forage Walk with Reconnection to Wellness
https://www.facebook.com/events/1679643853628758 Sunday 6 September 2026, 1pm to 3pm
Sunnyhurst Woods, Darwen, meet at the Olde England kiosk
Join us for a gentle Late Summer Forage Walk through Sunnyhurst Woods with Pete Compo from Pendle Plant Craft.
This walk is part of our Heritage funded project, Thriving with the Seasons, where we are remembering the old ways, the seasonal knowledge, the plants, the food, the remedies, the stories and the skills that would once have been passed down through families and communities.
Late summer is a beautiful time to notice the shift in the season. The flowers, berries, seeds, leaves and woodland plants are all part of that rhythm, and Pete will help us understand what is growing, what has been traditionally used, and how to forage safely and respectfully.
You can walk through a park or woodland and think there is not much there, then someone like Pete starts pointing things out and suddenly you realise you have probably walked past food, medicine and old plant wisdom hundreds of times without even knowing.
Most of us were never taught this stuff. We can name brands, apps, supermarkets and Netflix series, but half of us don’t know what is growing at the end of the street.
No previous foraging knowledge is needed. This is a relaxed, friendly walk suitable for all ages. Just come along, get curious and enjoy being outside with others.

Keep an eye on this space, or come along to a weekly session and see what’s unfolding 🌿
Regular Gatherings (what’s happening week to week)...
Cacao Ceremony & Sound Healing — Fortnightly
Gentle. Heart-opening. Restorative.
Join us for a sacred cacao ceremony followed by an immersive sound healing experience. This gathering is an invitation to slow down, connect with yourself and others, and create space for calm in body and mind.
We begin with ceremonial cacao. A warm, nourishing plant drink traditionally used to support relaxation, emotional flow, and heart-centered awareness. From there, we will settle into a deeply calming sound journey, allowing the vibrations to ease tension and soothe the nervous system. The evening closes with a quiet, supportive circle. A space to share, breathe, or simply be.
This event is open to everyone and no previous experience is needed.
Every fortnight on Monday
Upcoming dates:
Monday 2 March
Monday 16 March
Monday 30 March
7:00pm – 9:00pm (approx)

We look forward to holding this gentle space with you 💛
Brain health Breakthrough CIC – Monthly
We’re really pleased to be collaborating with Brain Health Breakthrough CIC to offer a new series of gentle, inclusive wellbeing sessions at Pendle Plant Craft.
These sessions have been thoughtfully created for people living with chronic illness, ME/CFS, Long Covid, brain injury, fatigue, sensory sensitivity, or fluctuating energy levels. For anyone who loves nature but finds many social or outdoor spaces inaccessible.
Nature connection doesn’t have to mean long walks, busy groups, or pushing through exhaustion. Sometimes it’s about sitting with a plant, noticing a tree, learning one small thing, sharing a brew, and being allowed to come exactly as you are.
This collaboration is rooted in lived experience, care, and the belief that everyone deserves access to the quiet, restorative relationships that plants, trees, and fungi can offer. At a pace that honours individual energy and needs.
Session Schedule- 12pm-3pm
September – 10th Peer support session
February 12th – Peer support session
March – 12th Plant Craft with Pete
April – 9th Peer support session
May – 14th Plant Craft with Pete
June – 11th Peer support session
July – 9th Plant Craft with Pete
August – 13th Peer support session
If this feels like something you, or someone you care about, would benefit from. You are very welcome. There’s no pressure, no expectations, and no “right” way to take part.
Details are on the poster, and you can join the mailing list via Brain Health Breakthrough CIC to stay updated.
We’re really looking forward to learning together.
