INTO THE WILD

At The Old Pavilion, the journey is just as important as the destination.

Set within the evolving landscape of Braxted Estate, Into The Wild invites guests to step beyond the table and into nature. 

Designed to slow the pace, spark curiosity and encourage connection, these experiences transform the landscape into part of the gathering itself.


Whether walking through re-natured landscape, discovering the wildlife that calls the estate home or tasting elements foraged from Braxted, Into The Wild offers moments that are both grounding and memorable.


This is not a programme of activities.

It is an invitation to experience the estate differently.

Guided By The Seasons

No two visits to The Old Pavilion are ever the same.


As the landscape evolves throughout the year, so too do the experiences. Spring brings new growth and birdsong, summer invites long evenings outdoors, autumn celebrates harvest and firelight, while winter offers stillness, atmosphere and warmth.



Every season reveals something new.


Because some of the most memorable moments happy away from the table.
