Host: Sam Lee

Come to the forest, be enchanted by the sweet song of the Nightingale and discover the story these exceptionally rare birds tell about our ancient and wondrous relationship with nature.

Key Information

Location: Strawberry Hill, Knotting Green, Bedfordshire, MK44 1AA

Time: 7:00 pm - 12:30 am (site opens at 6:30 pm)

Our evening begins gathered at the fireside, where welcome drinks await. Before dusk approaches, we’ll be led on a short ecological tour experiencing and unravelling the evening chorus and discovering the rich biodiversity of our rewilded site. Returning to the warmth of the campfire, a two-course vegan dinner awaits accompanied by a selection of herbal brews, wines, beers, and ciders.

As night falls, we'll share in traditional folklore, Nightingale histories, and songs before embarking on a silent walk through the darkness to find our singers. Here, under a blanket of stars, you'll witness our signature human-avian musical collaboration – a breathtaking interaction between Sam, our guest musician, and our bird, creating a truly unforgettable experience. As midnight passes, we’ll make our way back to camp and carriages.

Please make sure you have versed yourself in the important practical information below and reviewed our comprehensive FAQs to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for you and your guests. As our events involve walking across challenging terrain at night, we kindly ask you to consider any mobility requirements within your group before booking. For a full insight into the concept and idea behind the project, please see our What is SWN page.
