Marulin & Yurt Café invite you to a special afternoon tea experience as the Yurt transforms into a secret garden.

For an afternoon, we unlock the doors of the Reflective Space, follow a redbreasted robin, and find yourself in a garden full of life.

Enjoy sweet treats and savoury delights made by Head Chef Richard and our baking friends. From our delightful sandwiches to delicious desserts, you will be happy to have found your way to the comfort of the secret garden.

While there, fill your senses with a cup of award-winning Marulin specialty teas, such as Empirical Oolong, Rose Lady Orient or Lavender Emperor Grey. Marulin’s teas come from their family tea gardens and farming friends.

Finish, if you wish, with a bit of prosecco or a Marulin tea-inspired cocktail.

Take your seat and prepare to witness true artists and musicians up close and in action. You’ll be able to hear a pin drop in these highly atmospheric nights, allowing you to really hear the songs and let them take you on a journey. Enjoy a carefully curated playlist in between acts with drinks available + a chance to mingle with the musicians afterwards.

The evening is curated by Ricky- ‘I’m passionate about music and especially live music! Being a musician myself, I love to perform in fantastic atmospheric environments, with other great and interesting performers! As there is so much going on in London these kinds of gigs were becoming harder and harder to find. So, I decided to curate my own! Seeking out the best artists and spaces, with the intention of providing both audience and performer with the best live music experience possible’!

“Everything hangs on the voice .. And what a voice it is!” – Real Gone

“Gorgeous. This guy creates real atmosphere and depth within his songs.” – London Gig Guide

“A really different experieince to have in London, really recommended! Very cosy, and felt like a mini festival! Even through we didnt know the artists, would love to see them again. Very laid back and friendly atmosphere. Give it a try, you wont regret it! Thanks Ricky”

“Unique environment – effectively a big cosy tent on steroids. Complete with wood burning stove, bar, food and great welcoming atmosphere. Music was excellent and Ricky was really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.”

The Yurt Feast with Big Field is back after an amazingly delicious first feast! This time, all profits go to the charity Football Action!

About Football Action

Football Action uses the world’s most popular game to inspire and motivate children living difficult lives. With projects across a number of countries in Africa and Central America they support thousands of children each week to take part in sports, stay in school and develop a better chance of moving out of poverty. We have agreed for all profits from this event to go directly to funding and continuing this amazing work.

“Having grown up on the family sheep farm, Big Field have a passion for great British lamb, hogget and mutton. The meats are versatile, healthy and often raised to higher animal welfare standards than other animals (being largely grass fed/outdoor reared and free of hormones).

Growing up on the farm they also had a keen sense of eating with the seasons and making use of the great produce they had available on their doorstep.

Big Field’s mission is to bring great British lamb, hogget and mutton to a wider audience and to champion all the associated products, such as sheep’s milk cheeses, ice cream and butter.”

At this Yurt Feast, Big Field will be providing 4 courses of delicious, seasonal and locally sourced food with a focus on ingredients from small British farms and producers (especially their personal favourite – sheep meat and dairy products).

To get everyone off to a good start there’ll be a welcome cocktail included in the ticket price and we’ll also be selling local craft beers and specially selected wines to match the menu.
