The Seed & Sip

The sustainable cider, Inch’s, has partnered with leading online plant retailer, Patch, to host an event like no other on Wednesday June 29th  

Taking over Manchester pub The Freemount, 'The Seed & Sip' is designed specifically with plants in mind, the first pub for plants will play host to an array of forna-inspired events including the first gig for plants performed by Red Rum Club

‘The Seed and Sip’ will be hosting a horticultural matchmaking twist on speed dating with Speed Planting – with expert advice from the team at Patch to prove there is a plant out there for everyone

Before guests even enter the jungle of nature that will be The Seed and Sip, they’ll be met with a living wall of plants that will permanently takeover the exterior of The Freemount pub, created by Edible Bus Stop who have just been awarded Silver-Gilt at The Chelsea Flower Show with Botanical Rhapsody  

Inch’s partnership with Patch showcases the importance of sustainability and access to green spaces to consumers. The brand hopes The Seed and Sip will help connect pubs and nature together as one  

Inch’s Cider, a brand with focus on sustainability and nature, is opening 'The Seed & Sip' the world’s first ever pub for plants, in partnership with leading online plant retailer Patch, to encourage consumers to bring nature into their lives. 

For one night only, plant guests and humans will have an experience like no other with a special performance from Red Rum Club and an array of fun plant-inspired experiences to be had. 

Just like humans, some plants need a lot of tender love and care, whereas others prefer some space to do their own thing without too much fuss. The Seed and Sip will run the first ever ‘Speed Planting’ matchmaking event that will give human guests the opportunity to meet and discover their perfect plant from an array of houseplants, where they can get to know each other over a pint of Inch’s. 

The wonderful Plant Doctors from Patch will be on hand to help you discover your perfect plant partner - and guests might find themselves taking their plant date home! 

Once you’ve found your lifelong plant partner, a special guest comedian will host a Plant Pub Quiz where guests will be in with the chance of winning a number of festival tickets to Tramlines and Boardmasters.  

And when you think it can’t get any better, The Seed and Sip will host the first gig exclusively for VIP (Very Important Plants) guests – a live set performed by Red Rum Club, an English indie rock band that has been making waves across Europe and more recently the USA. 

On entry guests will be given tokens for free pints of Inch’s cider and Heineken 0.0, as well as delicious snacks and the chance to win stellar prizes to see out the summer. 

The Seed and Sip will be launching at 73-75 Oldham Street in Manchester on 29th June from 6pm for over 18s. A limited number of spaces are available, and you can register for a place by emailing theseedandsip@thisiscow.com with your full name. The pub will also be open to walk ins during the night.
