Join Rachel de Thample for a magical Winter Wellness Fermentation workshop, where you’ll unlock the secrets of using fermented foods as medicine. This hands-on, flavour-packed day is all about boosting immunity, supporting gut health, and making delicious, seasonal ferments infused with warming spices and medicinal herbs.
Rachel is an award-winning food writer and educator, author of the 'River Cottage Fermentation Handbook', and expert on seasonal eating and harnessing the power of food for health. With her guidance, you'll discover how to harness warming spices and gut-loving herbs to create delicious ferments with real medicinal benefits.

The Fermentarium is an independent organisation dedicated to promoting the small-scale production of “real” fermented food and drink. The adventure began in 2014, beginning with sourdough bread and pizza making.
Owners, Simon and David, wanted to share their knowledge and experience with others and started running lactic fermentation classes. Eventually, they were joined by Anna in 2016 and added further classes to their repertoire including kombucha, soft fermented drinks, cultured condiments and dairy ferments.
They run interactive and exciting classes that share the love for fermented foods with others. Whether you're a newbie or well experienced, anyone can join. Corporate events and private courses can also be catered for.
