About
A family holiday programme explores coughs, colds and remedies through hands-on activities and the science of winter illness.
This seasonal programme investigates what causes common winter bugs, how people can avoid them and what remedies are supported by science. Activities compare traditional and herbal remedies, from eucalyptus to lemon and ginger, and are inspired by Where Magic Grows and developed with the RHS. The published programme runs 19 December 2026 to 3 January 2027; no daily event hours are listed.
