Festive Fermentation Workshop

Festive Gut Health & Fermentation Workshop
with Laure from Absorb

Ferments for Festive Balance

Come for the gut wisdom, stay for the bubbles, flavours & festive inspiration!

Discover the delicious world of fermentation with Laure Boutrais, naturopath and founder of the award-winning South Wales-based water kefir and sauerkraut company, Absorb Health. Join Laure for a relaxed, hands-on festive workshop exploring how simple, delicious, fermented foods and drinks can support your digestion and bring vibrant flavour to the Christmas table. The festive season is a wonderful time of indulgence, celebration and gathering — but rich foods, changes in routine and all those tempting treats can sometimes leave our digestion feeling a little overwhelmed. We’ll explore some simple ways to enjoy the festivities while continuing to look after your gut, with plenty of tasting, practical tips and fermentation inspiration along the way.

What we’ll explore:

Gut health & the microbiome A friendly introduction to the fascinating world inside our gut, why our microbiome matters and how fermented foods can form part of a healthy, varied diet.

Festive food & digestion Why the Christmas period can sometimes challenge our digestion, and simple ways to bring balance without missing out on the foods and celebrations you love.

Make your own festive sauerkraut Get hands-on and create your very own jar of delicious festive sauerkraut using apple, orange and warming spices. You’ll learn the principles of lacto-fermentation and take your freshly made kraut home to ferment and enjoy.

A world of fermented flavours Taste a delicious selection of seasonal ferments inspired by traditions from around the globe, which may include sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, kvass, pickles and more.

Discover the magic of water kefir Learn how to make this naturally sparkling fermented drink and discover creative flavour ideas for the festive season — including delicious alternatives to conventional Christmas drinks.

Ferments for your festive table Discover creative ways to pair fermented foods with Christmas meals, add brightness and zing to richer dishes, and even turn your ferments into thoughtful homemade gifts.

Winter wellbeing tips Laure will share simple, practical tips to help support digestion and general wellbeing throughout the festive season and into winter.

You’ll take home:

Your own freshly made festive sauerkraut
A complimentary glass of water kefir
A selection of delicious kraut & pickle tasters
Printed recipes and fermentation tips
Festive ideas for using and sharing your ferments
New skills and confidence to continue fermenting at home

All products used in the workshop are plant-based or vegetarian, and no animal products will be used.

Come and spend a couple of relaxed, inspiring hours tasting, learning and getting hands-on with fermentation — and leave with your own jar of festive goodness to continue fermenting at home.
