Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn’t come from a store.” – Dr. Seuss

Join us for the 12 Days of Christmas

"Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don’t quite know how to put our love into words." Harlan Miller. 

It means that 3.3 million penguins worth of plastic is wasted at Christmas. This is detrimental to the magic of Christmas, the environment, how children see waste and the joy of future generations. 

So do something different this year and create your very own Christmas Goodies from delicious treats to making your own decorations. 

With daily expert led bite sized Christmas challenges over the 12 days leading up to Christmas While creating memories, nostalgia and sprinking the Spirt of Christmas.  Giving your Children the gift of Christmas past, present and future. 

We have created the 12 Days of Christmas Festival  - perfect for all your little Elves this Christmas. Taking no more than an hour a day. We know time is precious!

12 Days of Christmas Festival

Gather your friends and family to enjoy the countdown to Christmas. Make magical memories you’ll treasure for years to come; from cooking up jars of Boxing Day Chutney to foraging for greenery and creating your own Christmas wreaths. 

We often don't think we have time but let us break it down for you with only an hour a day! Explore the outdoors with our Festive Challenges and cosy up in the kitchen to create delicious Christmas treats. Inspire your little elves to gain magical knowledge and understanding through exploration and play. 


Our family-friendly recipes encourage children to find confidence in the kitchen and create tasty treats they can be truly proud of sometimes with a little mischief too like Truffle Sprouts! 


Wrap up for wintery walks and get outside with our outdoor activities, discover a new sense of wonder for frosty mornings; bright, fresh afternoons and clear moonlit nights. 


Our family focussed activities are perfect for little elves from 2-12 and their Parents and Grandparents with some adult recipes too.  Inspire them to get outside and enjoy experimenting in the kitchen with our bite-sized recipes, crafts and activities. 

"Imogen and Duncan aren't your average foragers and chefs. They are funny, make it real and I feel part of their family. They make me feel human as they don't pretend to be perfect. We love their challenges and make so many memories. Our only regret is not finding them sooner "

Each exciting recipe or craft is designed too ignite you and your childs imagination and we promise it won't cause carnage in the kitchen!  You can choose to give some of your dishes a boozy adult addition.

“Thank you so much, we’ve had the most amazing time at the  Festival, the videos have made us so happy too. We’ve had a few unplanned foraging moments, where we’ve emptied our water bottles on our bike rides to fill it with foraging delights. We’ve enjoyed the cordial, rosehip custard with some blackberry crumble, plus this morning we made the most delicious elderberry, blackberry basil yoghurt but swapped the toast for pancakes! Thank you again from the covey of Partridges - we also found some shark teeth fossils this week.”

Alicia is a passionate sustainability expert who brings the outdoors to life. She has co-authored two best selling books with the Tinklers.
 
Xanthe is four - who knows what she will ask or say but always entertains us! You will often her find her out foraging in her favourite costume - fox pirate.

Oh and don't forget Spartacas, their 17 year old rescue dog who will be joining them on their festive video forgaing treasure hunts.  

Oh and Athene who is 3 weeks old. She doesn't say much but looks great dressed as a Christmas Pudding.
