Forest Bathing & Aromatherapy at Dr Neil's Garden

The day pairs unhurried time outdoors with a practical scent-making session, and the organisers explain clearly what the small-group ticket includes.

The group moves slowly through the garden with sensory invitations and time to notice the autumn landscape. After tea and lunch, the indoor workshop introduces a seasonal essential-oil palette and guides you through blending a personal perfume to take home. Materials and refreshments are included.

This event is for adults aged 18 and over. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear for the outdoor section. The direct organiser price is GBP 88, including a GBP 5 donation to Dr Neil's Garden. Eventbrite displays GBP 96.05 including its platform charge, so check the total on the booking route you choose. Eventbrite offers refunds up to nine days before the event. Dr Neil's Garden has steep and narrow paths, with a reduced-mobility route covering much of the site but steps in one section and at Thomson's Tower. Dogs are not permitted except assistance dogs.

The garden is steeply sloping with narrow paths. A purpose-built route covers much of the site for visitors with reduced mobility, but one section has wide steps and Thomson's Tower is reached by a short flight of steps.

Spend a slow day between Dr Neil's Garden and Thomson's Tower. Rosie McLoughlin guides a two-hour forest-bathing walk with a tea ceremony, then Gill from àile holistic leads a workshop using essential oils to create a 10 ml therapeutic perfume. A light lunch and refreshments connect the two parts of the day.
