Give the gift of foraging with a full day seasonal foraging workshop and wild three-course feast in the stunning South Downs National Park.

Spend the day foraging, feasting and learning. Learn the myths, folklore, history, medical uses and edibility of common and unusual wild food. Feast on the food you collect with a three course paired meal and then enjoy a wild workshop, such as herbal tea making, soda brewing, food preservation and mushroom workshops.

The perfect gift of lovers of the outdoors, hiking, nature, and herbalists and foodies. Perfect Christmas gifts for those wanting to start a new hobby or learn more about foraging.

The course will start at 10:30am for a safety talk and overview. We will then head out into the downs, woodlands, hedgerows and meadows to forage for seasonal fungi and plants, learning how to identify them from their toxic lookalikes, their properties, edibility, uses and more. We will stop halfway round for your choice of a cup of wild herbal tea or foraged fizz before carrying on with the forage. Then we will sit down to a paired three-course wild meal around 1pm. 

LOCATION: Our courses are based in the South Downs National Park in West Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire. The exact location will be emailed to you 2 days prior.
