High on our list of Herbal Medicine Summit priorities is on-site catering. Our group consists of a higher than usual number of special dietary requirements. In light of this, standard catering for the duration of the Summit will include a wide variety of vegetarian as well as dairy AND gluten free options. Those without any dietary requirements will also be well catered for. When you book your ticket, please only advise us if you have a food allergy or are vegan so that you are suitably catered for.
