About this Event

Wild Weekend: Two-Day Foraging & Camping Retreat

Forage, Cook, Camp, and Connect Through a Weekend Immersed in the Wild.


A Two-Day Foraging Retreat, Rooted in Nature, Learning & Community


Step away from the pace of everyday life and into a weekend of foraging, food, and connection on a privately held estate. This two-day immersive retreat is designed to be both fun and educational, offering hands-on learning, shared meals, and the simple joy of camping in nature.


Across Saturday and Sunday, you’ll take part in guided foraging walks, learning how to identify, harvest, and use seasonal wild foods. Together, we’ll gather ingredients for our meals and cook collaboratively in a fully equipped kitchen, exploring how wild ingredients can be transformed into nourishing, flavourful dishes.


Guests will camp overnight at a private campsite on the estate surrounded by forest and fields with access to full rustic kitchen, dinning hall, bathroom, and shower facilities. Evenings are spent around the campfire, sharing food, stories, and relaxed activities under the stars.


All food and drinks are provided throughout the weekend, including two lunches, one breakfast, and one dinner. You’ll just need to bring your own tent and sleeping equipment.


This retreat is suitable for beginners and those with some experience alike — a welcoming space to learn, slow down, and enjoy the wild in good company.
