# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements Within - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: Revisit ancient beliefs with a wink and a wooden spoon — blending history, humour, and herbal craft to discover your inner elements.About this EventThe Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements WithinAn evening of laughter, lore, and self-prescribed remedy-making.Long before modern medicine, healers believed that four vital humours — blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile — governed the body’s balance. Too much or too little of one could make you fiery, sluggish, melancholic, or absurdly cheerful.In this spirited workshop, we’ll revisit those ancient notions with a wink and a wooden spoon — blending history, humour, and herbal craft to discover our inner elements (and restore them to just the right temperature).You’ll stir, sip, and create four small preparations inspired by the humours — each one symbolic, sensory, and soothing:💮 Sanguine (Blood – Air & Warmth) For the merry, the sociable, and the occasionally over-sparkly. Craft a rosy cordial of rosehip, hibiscus, and honey to lift the heart and renew vitality.🌿 Phlegmatic (Phlegm – Water & Coolness) For dreamers and thinkers who need a gentle stir. Blend a clearing herbal inhaler or steam with eucalyptus, peppermint, and thyme — a breath of winter clarity.🔥 Choleric (Yellow Bile – Fire & Dryness) For the bold and occasionally short-fused. Make a calming vinegar or balm infused with chamomile, lemon balm, and a whisper of rose to soothe the fire.🌑 Melancholic (Black Bile – Earth & Coldness) For poets, ponderers, and anyone needing grounding. Prepare a rich, grounding anointing oil or cocoa-spice tonic with patchouli and warming ginger.Expect laughter, spice, reflection, and a few cheeky self-diagnoses. Leave with your creations and a lighter heart — better balanced, in all the right places.🌞 Includes: all materials, recipes, warm herbal drinks, and a bit of merry mischief. 📍 Location: The Thyme Keeper’s Stillroom, Bookham, Surrey. 🕯 Exchange: £67 per person | 3 hours | Limited to 2-3 guests per session🌸🌸🌸Gain Thy Title as a Master in the Art of Apothecary!The Master Apothecary Keepsake 2026For guests who complete three or more workshops within a year, I offer a small stillroom thank-you — a way of honouring your curiosity, your hands, and the time you’ve spent making beside me.Your keepsake includes:🌿 A personalised Master Apothecary Certificate, printed on thick parchment and finished with hand-inked script in the old stillroom style🌿 A tiny crafted treasure — a seasonal hydrosol vial, charm bottle, or botanical salve🌿 A £10 voucher toward any workshop in 2026🌿 An invitation to a complimentary 45-minute Stillroom Hour — a quiet visit for scent, questions, or a small make together.This keepsake is my way of saying thank you for returning to the apothecary table, again and again, and for helping the stillroom grow with your presence. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/22e28150-f87f-11f0-b5db-bf22a0ebdfc2-rimg-w697-h740-dc46362c-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/23157830-f87f-11f0-b5db-bf22a0ebdfc2-rimg-w1047-h740-dcbedaa6-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/great-bookham/the-humour-apothecary-balancing-the-elements-within/100001980260942787 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 67, max: 67, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Great Bookham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Great Bookham - **lat**: 51.2783826 - **long**: -0.3733532 - **full address**: Great Bookham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements Within - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/2d60a1fe1806b0d19a88616946d36ecfe963a1063058f1e681e1ea563833680a-rimg-w1200-h657-dc472f18-gmir.jpg?v=1769231840 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements Within being held? - **A:** The Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements Within takes place on Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Great Bookham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements Within? - **A:** Tickets for The Humour Apothecary: Balancing the Elements Within are priced at GBP 67 per person.
