A seasonal woodland immersion to awaken your senses and welcome new growth

Saturday 19th September 2026 | 2:30pm – 5:00pm
Meet at Toys Hill Car Park

£25 per person

As the seasons begin to shift and the first signs of autumn emerge, join award-winning Forest Bathing practitioner Tansy Dowman for a gentle guided mindful walking and nature connection experience through the beautiful landscapes surrounding Toys Hill and Emmetts Garden.

This calming and immersive experience invites you to slow down, reconnect with your senses and experience the restorative benefits of spending intentional time in nature. Through gentle guided invitations, mindful walking and moments of quiet reflection, participants will be encouraged to notice the colours, textures, sounds and seasonal changes unfolding within the landscape.

The walk will weave through woodland and surrounding natural spaces before arriving at Emmetts Garden Café for a warming hot drink and cake, offering an opportunity for rest, conversation and community connection before a relaxed return walk back to Toys Hill.

Designed to be accessible and welcoming, this experience is not about fitness or hiking pace, but about slowing down enough to truly notice and reconnect with the natural world around us.

Participants often leave feeling calmer, more grounded, mentally refreshed and deeply restored by the experience.

What to bring / wear

• Comfortable walking shoes or boots suitable for uneven woodland paths
