10 JULY 2025
6.30pm – 10.00pm
Ottolenghi’s Exec and Head Chefs Neil Campbell and Andy Frantzeskos are packing up their knives, grabbing a few ferments from the shelves, and heading to the Sussex countryside for one evening only – to make a feast cooked entirely over fire.
Grilled peas with miso, applewood-smoked labneh, lamb and celeriac turning slowly over the flames. For pudding, we’re doing corn cheesecake with strawberries and a burnt honey whiskey parfait with oat brittle. Plus a few more surprises.
Everything comes from ridiculously close by – Chichester strawberries, wheat milled down the road for our pita, vegetables from farms you could walk to.

12 JULY 2025
10.00am – 2.00pm
Join us for a friendly and relaxed Rainbow Ramble designed to bring together LGBTQ+ people and allies in the heart of the South Downs, in association with our friends at Rural Strides.
Starting out from our Taproom, and set against the stunning backdrop of the South Downs, this gentle ramble offers a chance to enjoy nature, spark conversations, support a local producer and build friendships outside of the usual scenes.
In the countryside, it’s easy to feel isolated — but with small steps (and a few muddy boots!), we can build something vibrant together. Whether you’re local, newly moved to the area, or just visiting, come and walk with pride.
This is a low-pressure, inclusive event. Whether you’re a regular hiker or just fancy a relaxed afternoon out, all are welcome. The pace will be easy, with plenty of time for conversation, connection, and soaking up the views and beers. Let’s make the South Downs not just a place of beauty, but a place of belonging.
Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
If you love craft ale and would like to understand a little more about how it’s done, we’re offering a guided tour and tasting of our 10 barrel steam-heated brewery later the same day.
Date: Saturday 12th July
Start: Langham Brewery
Start Time: 10.00
Distance: approx 5.5 miles
Terrain: Undulating

This history walk in the Park takes two hours. The pace is easy and involves only one steep but shortish climb. We will see and hear about all the main historic sites, how the Park has grown, how its use has changed over the centuries and about the personalities who have shaped it.
From flint blades on Arbour Hill going back 8000 years, the early deer park, the land grab by King Henry 8th together with his hunting lodge, the contested enclosure of the 8th Earl of Northumberland, the creation of the Capability Brown landscape and lost roads, why the House abuts the Town rather than being in the middle of the Park, the destruction of parts of Petworth Town & Tillington to enlarge the Park, the Georgian shooting range, the Park’s role in WW11, including the Dieppe Raid and D Day, the post war Polish camp and bringing us right up to date the change in landscape from the abortive Petworth by pass and the Great Storm of 1987 – & more!
Everyone, members and non members of the Society welcome including dogs kept on a short lead. It will be fun, informative and an opportunity to make new friends!
No charge for members of the Petworth Society, £5 for non members.
There is a limit on numbers, so if you would like to join please book online – go to https://Petworthsociety.co.uk or register your interest by emailing Bev Sewell at Info@Petworth Society.co.uk.

6.30pm – 8.00pm
These sessions offer a peaceful space to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself in a gentle and supportive way. Each class includes nourishing breathwork, quiet meditation, and time for personal reflection.
We’ll weave together functional breathing techniques with the ancient wisdom of pranayama, offering practical tools to support your nervous system, focus your mind, and cultivate inner calm. Whether you’re completely new to breathwork or have been exploring the breath for some time, the practices are accessible and deeply restorative.
Each session will close with a collective reflection on the class theme—sharing a warm cuppa, journaling, or simply sitting in stillness. It’s also an opportunity to connect with others in a genuine and meaningful way, if you wish. No rush. No pressure. Just spaciousness—to rest, process, and gently listen to whatever is stirring within.
These sessions are for anyone who feels the call to pause, breathe, and come back home to themselves. Whether you’re moving through change, deepening your self-awareness, or simply craving a pocket of calm, you’ll be held in a safe, welcoming space.
Taking place 6.30 – 8pm on:
Thursday 24th July
Thursday 7th August
