Cocooning with Ali Heath at THE PIG-near Bath

THE PIG-near Bath | Friday 10 October 2025

Join us around one long table in the Old Dining Room at THE PIG-near Bath for a cosy lunchtime gathering with bestselling author and interiors guru Ali Heath, as she celebrates the launch of her new book Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart.

£75 per person

At THE PIGs, our houses are always full of original features, a jumble of old furniture, paintings, mismatched china and well-worn finds that have all lived a life before landing here.

We believe it’s the stories behind the bits and bobs that make a place feel like home – unpolished, personal and full of heart.

So, who better to join us for lunch this October than bestselling author and interiors expert Ali Heath, whose brand-new book Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart celebrates soulful, lived-in spaces brimming with character and care.

Gathered around one long table in our Old Dining Room, we’ll kick off with fizz and Piggy Bits before Ali sits down with THE PIG Hotels’ very own Press Guru, Emma Cripwell, for a conversation about creativity, curiosity and the joy of making a home your own. Afterwards, you’ll tuck into a seasonal PIG feast, rounded off with something sweet, before Ali signs copies of Cocoon – available on the day with an exclusive 20% guest discount.

Just like our interiors, this will be an afternoon of warmth, storytelling and plenty of charm – the perfect chance to cocoon yourself away with good food, good company and a few new ideas for the place you call home.

When, where, how much…

This way of decorating is so much more than just a look or style - it's about taking a holistic approach that draws upon all our senses, not just the visual, and connects us more meaningfully to ourselves and our surroundings.
