Tour of Gardens and Lunch at Cordia Collective

11th June 2026

Within the gardens of the Grade II listed Borde Hill Estate in Sussex is The Cordia Collective, a new hub centred around Nicholson’s regenerative farming ethos. The first chapter launched on 31 March, Baked by Cordia, a concept encompassing two cafes: Gloriette, a summerhouse cafe housed within the gardens, and Gingko, sitting in the garden’s visitor entrance.

New Zealand-born chef Chantelle Nicholson rose to fame with her first solo venture, Apricity. Opened on Mayfair’s Duke Street in 2022, the eatery garnered rave reviews, going on to secure a Green Michelin Star for its low-waste ethos and focus on hyper-seasonal ingredients.

This should be a fascinating and interesting visit accompanied by a wonderful lunch. Put a placeholder into your Calendar.
