The Ark approach

We believe the most meaningful conversations happen when people, place and atmosphere are in harmony, much like the living systems we promote.

We are passionate about place-based gatherings that are deeply connected to their environment, culture and community. From food and nature events on organic farms, to social infrastructure and development finance summits in emerging markets, to intimate jazz and world music gatherings, Ark creates thoughtful environments where hospitality, music, design and shared experience foster openness, creativity and lasting relationships.

Across every project, we blend purposeful content with carefully curated experiences that people remember long after they leave the room.

  • “The Ark Summit is a brilliant focal point for those wanting to explore the connections between the health of our natural environment and the health of our food system. At a time when agriculture is rediscovering lost knowledge from the past and trying new approaches that are more in tune with nature and the health of our soils, the Ark Summit is a great platform through which knowledge is shared.”

    George Eustice, Former Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

  • “Ark Summit is no ordinary gathering. It manages to bring together some of the biggest names and voices in the regenerative land revolution, combining serious, impactful debates with outdoor experiences and discussions. There are few other gatherings which create this atmosphere of community, hope and joy whilst simultaneously coming up with real world solutions.”

    Sarah Langford, Author, Rooted

  • “Ark is a special event, set on a beautiful farm. There was a brilliant mixture of speakers and types of talks and sessions. The atmosphere was warm and congenial and allowed us all to chat freely. The only sadness was I missed the music and dancing!”

    Claire Mackenzie, Producer, Six Inches of Soil

  • “YellowWood has worked with Ark for several events – from a bespoke Ethiopian night in Brixton Market to promote our tours there; to a wellness event in Stoke Newington; to a cosy Christmas event in the Cotswolds – and every time Tom and the team deliver an outstanding service. Ark creates environments that are fun but also highly professional, always providing us with useful business leads.”

    YellowWood Adventures Ltd

  • “Tom did an amazing job to help make our wedding day so special. He put together a wonderful jazz band and managed the complex ceremony logistics seamlessly. He also brought the house down with his DJ set and kept people moving until the very end. We’re so grateful for his hard work, calm demeanour and proactive attitude.”
