An Evening of Music & Wild Swimming with Jenny Cook

Open to Yurtshire guests and the public alike. Early booking is strongly recommended.

What to Expect

As the evening unfolds, you'll be welcomed into The Hideaway, our intimate woodland yurt nestled near the peaceful waters of Eavestone Lake, for a truly special evening of live music and nature.

Jenny Cook will perform two relaxed acoustic sets, sharing heartfelt songs inspired by wild places, connection and the restorative power of the natural world. Between sets, you'll have time to enjoy a hot drink, chat with fellow guests or simply take in the stillness of the surrounding woodland.

As the sun begins to set, those who wish are invited to experience a gentle wild swim in the lake. Whether you choose to take to the water or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere from the shore, it's a beautiful way to end an unforgettable evening immersed in nature.
