As the Balingup Medieval Carnivale brings colour, music and merriment once more to our beautiful village, come hither to Tinderbox and venture within. Discover shelves laden with herbs, spices, fragrant oils, curious remedies and botanical treasures, each lovingly handcrafted in our apothecary from carefully chosen botanicals. Here, the old traditions of healing still flourish and every jar, bottle and sachet carries a story centuries in the making.

Whether seeking a remedy for weary feet after a day of revelry, a soothing herbal tea, a restorative tonic, a rare spice, an enchanting natural perfume or simply the pleasure of discovering something unexpected, there is every chance that what is sought has been patiently waiting here all along.

So tarry awhile in the heart of Balingup village and allow curiosity to lead the way. Cross the threshold and discover what the old herbalists have always known: somewhere among the herbs, there is often exactly what the heart or body has been seeking.
