Do Curate
How to create a small magical event
Clare Hieatt
‘Magical’ is the word most used to describe the Do Lectures. It’s where world-class speakers share their story in a former cowshed. Where attendees dine amongst raised beds. And where secret gin bars and hot tubs wait to be discovered...
In Do Curate, Clare Hieatt shares insight and learnings from over a decade hosting this iconic event. From curating the speaker lineup to selecting the most fragrant woods to burn, she knows that every detail counts. Now, she will help you to elevate your own events and gatherings. Discover:
- The secret to good curation, from arrival to departure
- Ways to create a more sensory experience
- Why authenticity and human connection are key
- How small events build community
Whether corporate conferences or dinner parties, successful hosting is about making people feel at home and creating the conditions for magic to happen: new ideas, experiences and connections. And it’s all in the curation.
Available to pre-order. Orders will ship just ahead of publication on 4th June 2026.

Reviews
Clare reminds us that magic doesn’t come from scale or spectacle, but from care. This book is a gentle, generous guide to creating gatherings that make people feel seen, held, and hopeful.

She lives on a farm on the west coast of Wales, where she and her husband raised their daughters and founded two other businesses: howies and Hiut Denim.
