Ramble + Restore

Join us as we ease into the new year with a wonderful, heartwarming day this winter. 🌿 We'll start with warming drinks at Mudlark Studio, where their talented artists will brief us on our creative project for the day ahead. 🐦 Morning: a walk along the River Colne We'll spend the morning exploring the riverbanks, spotting oystercatchers, egrets and other winter visitors to the tidal waters. As we walk this beautiful countryside, your trained Lowland Leader will introduce you to the basics of map reading, so you can bring those skills home for your own adventures in nature. 🍲 Lunch: a nourishing spread With appetites ready, we'll kick off our boots and get cosy with blankets for a nourishing plant-based spread catered by The Olive Branch, chatting over the colours we spotted on our walk. 🎨 Afternoon: botanical art with Mudlark We'll settle into Mudlark's gorgeous studio for an afternoon of joyful creating with Katie and Caroline. Whether you have an artistic bone in your body or not, making your own botanical artwork in this space is sure to leave you relaxed and inspired to bring more mindful moments into your everyday life. Our goal is simple: to start your new year feeling revived, inspired and held by a wonderful community of like-minded women. ✨

β€œI had the most wonderful weekend with Set Wild in Norfolk. Fiona has created something truly special, a retreat where women can immerse themselves in nature, learn new skills, and genuinely switch off. I still can't quite believe we fitted a foraging walk, a coastal hike, a sauna, wild swimming, and a cacao ceremony (and more!) into a single weekend. The schedule was full, but never pressured as t…”

β€œI had a wonderful weekend walking, foraging and connecting with nature. It was unlike any camping I have done before and was luxurious with the bell tents with a log fire inside to make it warm and cozy on a chilly night. The food was home made and delicious with foraged local flowers and plants. Fi the organiser of set wild has shown her passion for the outdoors with this experience and her atten…”

β€œIncredible experience! The thoughtfulness and attention to detail are outstanding, definitely the best camping experience I’ve had in my entire life. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe and cared for the entire time. The hiking and foraging guides and the cacao & yoga instructor were all extremely knowledgeable and welcoming, and it was awesome how Set Wild created a space where strangers quic…”

β€œI had a gorgeous weekend with Set Wild in January. Spending the weekend outdoors, relaxing, walking, cold water swimming, sauna-ing, and pampering, with brilliant women was an absolute dream. The Set Wild team took such good care of us, keeping us warm in cosy bell tents and feeding us delicious food. They said their aim was to make us feel wrapped in a warm hug, and that couldn't have been more t…”

β€œI had an absolutely wonderful Retreat hosted by the lovely, Fiona and Jenny. Every need was catered for and all events were well organised and throughly enjoyed. I met and became friends with some amazing women. I would recommend this experience to any lady wishing for some time out to be with nature, to share some special experiences and be totally pampered.”

β€œFiona and her team gave us a unique and memorable experience which has left me wanting more: from the breakfast in bed to the introduction to paddle boarding, I could not have felt in safer or kinder hands. Other activities included making and applying seaweed face masks, yoga and pizza making competition, all in the company of a fantastic group of ladies. And with amazing food to fuel our 8 mile…”
