Inside the day

The Autumn Nest is a friendly and welcoming day retreat designed to help you ground down, connect to your body and offer yourself a chance to prioritise yourself during the autumn months. For this special autumn edition, The Nest Hackney is teaming up with the cold water swimming community Chilly Dippers to bring you a fully supported, nature-immersive experience.   Hosted at the Knepp Estate, the beautiful re-wilding sanctuary in the heart of the Sussex countryside, this intimate gathering will whisk you out of London for a day of community and deep connection. From dynamic morning movement to the deep heat of a wood-fired sauna and the crisp, invigorating medicine of a guided wild swim, every element of this day is designed to nourish you from the inside out.

What's included

  • Over 3 hours of yoga, breathwork and meditation
  • Exclusive access to the wellbeing area of the Knepp Rewilding Estate
  • Over 1 hour private wood-fired sauna session and expert guided wild swimming with Chilly Dippers
  • A fully catered seasonal autumn lunch, plus arrival drinks, homemade snacks and unlimited herbal teas
  • A curated wellness goodie bag to take home

Location & getting there

Our venue is a peaceful oasis on the Knepp Rewilding Estate in Sussex, surrounded by rolling hills and autumn woodland.

  • By train - just under an hour direct from London Bridge/Victoria to Horsham, then a short 10-minute taxi to the venue
  • By car - free parking on site.

Once booked, we'll connect guests who'd like to travel together from East London or split taxis.

What to bring

Comfortable layers for yoga, swimwear, 2x towels (one for drying, one for sitting on in the sauna), and flip-flop type shoes for walking by the lake. All yoga props (mats, blocks, bolsters) are fully provided. Come alone or bring a friend - we'd be so delighted to welcome you.
