Half-term trail: Sabine's Marvellous Medicine
Step into the enchanting world of Sabine’s Marvellous Medicine this February half-term at Nostell.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Discover the curious remedies of Sabine Winn, who lived here centuries ago, and explore how plants and herbs were once used to create magical mixtures to keep people happy and healthy. Along the way, you’ll create your very own marvellous concoction as you wander through the gardens and woodland.
Gather your trail sheet and set off on a journey to uncover the secrets of Sabine’s herbal recipes. Along the way, you’ll collect “ingredients” for your own marvellous mixture by answering fun quiz questions and stopping at trail boards full of curious facts about nature’s remedies.
Can you guess what Sabine used rosemary for? Or what wildflower sheep can’t resist snacking on? You’ll even uncover some of her strangest remedies, like poisonous foxglove ear drops.
By the end of the trail, you’ll have all the ingredients to create your very own imaginary potion—perfect for curing colds, giving sheep super strength, or helping you remember all your homework!
Potion-maker’s workshop
End your day by getting hands-on in the craft room. Mix and match dried herbs like lavender, rosemary, and mint to create your very own “magic potion bag” to take home. Add a name to your potion and imagine its magical powers—whether it’s for sweet dreams, super strength, or a burst of energy on rainy days.
