About the event
🍽️ About the Event
Join us for an evening of connection, conversation, and curiosity.
Over candlelight and a crackling fire, we'll gather in The Out Barn to share a three-course, locally sourced meal, a welcome drink, and an evening of ideas.
Each event in the Dinner with a Scientist series invites a scientist, author, or expert in their field to share their insights on a fascinating topic, from ecology to neuroscience, from food systems to the cosmos.
After dinner, during pudding, the floor opens for questions and discussion, a chance to engage directly, ask big questions, and leave feeling inspired and connected.
💡 Who This Is For
For those who love good food, meaningful conversation, and learning something new.
Solo diners, couples, and groups who value intimate gatherings where everyone feels welcome, whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll leave with new connections.
Food lovers who appreciate a locally sourced, seasonal meal prepared with care and creativity.
And please don’t be put off if you’re introverted or shy, this isn’t a loud or intimidating event. You’ll never be hassled to speak up or perform; you’re welcome to simply listen, absorb, and enjoy the warmth of good company and conversation at your own pace.
This is also a great gift experience for anyone who loves ideas, good company, and memorable evenings.
