Natalie’s events are innovative, engaging, welcoming and memorable, those I attended were anniversaries for Growing Communities, they had activities or games that brought people together, that were humorous and light hearted and created connections between people who didn’t know each other beforehand.

There was something very heartfelt which created a special atmosphere- she combines a low-key atmosphere - in that I mean there is a sense of occasion but no pressure to perform, with enjoyable and memorable happenings during the events.”

For over twenty years, before craft beer, organic markets and music festivals on farms became so common Natalie uniquely brought elements of her cultural, physical and agricultural Somerset background to her London events. It was and is “Village Mentality”

That was such a special event. I remember it as bucolic, probably as it was set in a garden.

“I still remember the atmosphere, the food, the storytelling, how welcomed we all felt. My group ranged from 6 months to 75 years! and we were all charmed, well fed and happy by the end of the evening. It was incredibly well considered and above all, relaxed and magical. I love anything Natalie turns her hand to as she goes above and beyond to make people feel included and engaged”

Natalie’s events are full of joyful good humour and have incredible attention to detail: every aspect of the audience's experience is considered. (They often introduce you to a cultural curiosity that you weren't aware of before)
