We love fresh sourdough at Birch. Join our bakers in any, or all, of the daily rituals we undertake to make our delicious sourdough every morning. Each session lasts about 10 minutes and there’s no need to book. Just step inside. See what’s going on. Ask a question or two. Then leave whenever you’re ready.

All ages
In this taster session for beginners, you’ll get hands-on and learn the pinch and coil techniques, which are the principles of hand-building.
Part of our new wider pottery offer at Birch, the aim of this session is to make pottery accessible and enjoyable for all. It’s an opportunity to give it a go and make something unique – which will then be fired and sent to you at a later date.

Sunday = Funday for the younger Birch community. Each week we host three different children sessions across the day to provide great fun-filled activities (and also enable parents to get some me-time too).
For the ‘Junior Creators’ session in the middle of the day, the focus is all about having fun whilst learning how to make new things! From creating your own lava lamps to D.I.Y. sherbert, tie-dyeing clothing to balloon modelling – whatever the focus, it’s all about having a good time and being productive.

The Midweeker
Available from 12th July to 30th August, spend the week at Birch and get a night on us.
When you book three nights (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday) we’ll give you a fourth (Thursday) completely free. You don’t have to use it, it’s just there to help you make the most of Birch.
Plus, every week we’ll look at a different idea. Nothing too literal or strict, just an idea which guides some (but not all) of the workshops, workouts, feasts, films, and goings-on that you can expect to enjoy in a given week.
Give fun, give Birch
Forget giving a loved one a perspex dividing screen.
Instead, give them Birch. Or more specifically, give them a voucher for a Birch stay, meal, or membership.
Work out. Wander around. Make things, bake things, play things.
From The Zebra Riding Club to Valeries, our drinks bars to our juice bar, there’s plenty on the menu at Birch.
The dream ticket
Switch off from the noise and pressures of daily life in our well-crafted, warm, and carefully considered rooms. The biggest beds we could fit in a room, and brand new Simba mattresses, mean we’ve made you the perfect bed… Now lie in it.
Your new playground
Become a member and get an access all areas pass to Birch… Drop into an event or workshop. Drink in one of our three bars. Work in The Hub. Work out in the Wellness Space. Stop us if we’re boring you…
Sunday night’s on us
Craving a weekend break? Book for Friday and Saturday night, and get Sunday night on us. You don’t have to use it. We just feel that extra night allows you to settle into Sunday so you can make the most of your weekend.
