Cocktails on the Clumps. It is our favourite event of the year. Our biggest, and our best. The premise has always been a simple one. We build a bar at the top of the Clumps, shake, mix and muddle some seasonal cocktails, and invite you all to join us at one of our favourite places. Plus, with some of the proceeds of every cocktail sold going to our friends, the Earth Trust, you can settle in knowing you’re doing some good too.
This year, our fourth, we’re doing things slightly different. We’re running our hilltop bar for the whole weekend (20th and 21st June), which means there is more time to visit, so fewer queues and a more personal experience. The bar will open from 4pm on Saturday and run through to 10pm, and then from 11am to 9.30pm on the Sunday. Plus, with the Sunday (21st June) also being Father’s Day, we’re adding on some extras to really make the day special. There will be a Farmer’s Market at the Earth Trust Centre on Sunday (from 10am-12 noon), at which you’ll be able to enjoy a bacon roll, plus browse wine, flowers, gifts, and more from some of our favourite suppliers.
Fancy something even more special? There are also two bookable Sunday experiences for you, a hilltop yoga session, and a foraging walk. Details on both and tickets below:
Join us on Day Two of this year’s Cocktail on the Clumps for a special hilltop yoga session. Stretch, bend and flex, while drinking in the knockout views of South Oxfordshire, and listening to the birdsong. After the yoga session, enjoy a healthy breakfast sandwich and a cocktail or glass of apple juice.
The yoga session will begin at 8.30am and run through to about 10am, on Sunday 21st June. After the yoga, there will be a meditative walk through the Clumps landscape, before a revitalising breakfast.
A perfect gift for Father’s Day, join us on the Sunday of this year’s Cocktail on the Clumps for a special foraging walk and cocktail class. The small group will walk across the Clumps and the Wittenham Woods, learning about the wild foods available at this time of year, and some tips and tricks for how to use them. Then, heading back to the Earth Trust site, there will be a cocktail class, and picnic lunch.
