Summer

Retreat

FRIDAY 7TH AUGUST 2026

Pause. Breathe. Reset.

WHEN

Friday 7 August 2026

WHERE

Lannock Farm, Hertfordshire

TIME

9.00am — 5.30pm

A nourishing day of yoga, sauna, exploring, making, and more.

We’re excited to announce our first ever retreat day at Lannock Farm. This unique experience is designed to help you slow down and connect with what’s real: good food, fresh air, nature, movement, community, and the quiet joy of open fields.

The day unfolds with intention: yoga to begin, a walk across the land, a long lunch at the Smoke + Barrel, sauna under the open sky, and making with seasonal flowers.

 

If this sounds like the day you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to welcome you on the 7th August to Lannock Farm.

BOOK YOUR PLACE

Your day includes

Five hosted sessions across the working farm, designed to flow gently from one into the next.

Imogen North

Yoga Workshop

Two hours · for all levels

The day begins with a two-hour session weaving together grounding asana (movement), breathwork, myofascial release, and deep relaxation to cultivate steadiness and connection.

We’ll create space to reconnect to our centre, nourish ourselves deeply, and return to a place of calm focus. Suitable for all levels — whether you’ve been on the mat for years or are stepping on for the first time.

Smoke + Barrel

Long-table Lunch

Seasonal · local · Fresh

Gather around the long table at Lannock’s new Smoke + Barrel restaurant for delicious, seasonal dishes made with local ingredients — much of it grown a few steps from the table.

A selection of hearty fresh salads, smoked meats and Leavened baked bread.

Dietary needs are accommodated — just let us know on the registration form.

TAKE TIME SAUNAS

Sauna & Cold Plunge

Outdoors · views of the farm

Chill out, soothe tired muscles and clear the mind with sweeping views of the Hertfordshire chalklands.

 

Our sauna is run by Take Time Saunas, our newest resident at Lannock.

Hot sauna first, then cold plunge or waterfall bucket. Sweat, chill, repeat — an honest reset for body and head.

ALEX CHERRY

Guided Farm Walk

Across the land · with your farm host

Walk with your farm host, Alex Cherry. Learn about Lannock’s history (five generations in the same valley), our sustainable practices, and how the vitality of the soil shapes the health of our food and our own wellbeing.

An easy hour through the herbal leys, the woodland paths and out across the fields.

Rosie Leathers

Growing British Wildflowers

Hands-on · take home what you make

Guided by our flower farmer, Rosie, you can choose to plant a small pot of native British wildflowers or create a seasonal posy to reflect this summer moment.

Whichever you choose, you’ll take your creation and a piece of Lannock home with you.

Tom is the Director of Food & Hospitality and founder of Smoke + Barrel, Lannock’s new on-site restaurant.

Rosie Leathers

Growing British Wildflowers

Rosie is Lannock Farm’s flower grower, cultivating seasonal British blooms rooted in a lifelong love of nature and the changing rhythms of the UK seasons. She believes growing flowers is about authenticity, seasonality and a slower, simpler way of life; noticing the small details, living closely with the land and sharing its beauty with the local community. At the retreat, Rosie will lead a hands-on workshop exploring British wildflowers and the art of working with them.
