About this Event

This course is designed to get you as involved as possible - this includes identifying, picking and tasting a range of wild species that will be found on the day. There will also be samples of wild food for everyone to get stuck into!

The focus with all of our workshops is on the 4 'F's of Foraging: Fungi, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage. We aim for an array of these elements on every session we run (weather and season permitting!)

What To Expect

Our 'Taster' events are our shortest workshops, open to anyone looking for a brief but informative introduction to the wonderful world of foraging. No formal food is provided, but there will still be plenty of tasting along the way.

DURATION: 2 hours

We like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop:

  • a short introduction regarding the safety and format of the day
  • discussions around foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law
  • a circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths
  • a closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager
  • a chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours
  • small tasters of wild food - this may even include freshly-picked items straight from the wild.
  • our workshops are run in a welcoming and informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are encouraged
  • after the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day. Please do not expect photos or descriptions in this email - it is purely a list for reference purposes, and we find it helps people do further research in their own time.


Please note: as with most of our events, this is an educational experience and not a 'basket-filling' session.


At the end of the session, there may be a small selection of and workshop vouchers available to purchase (card and cash accepted). This is a recent element of our events after enough attendees made enquiries about it - there is no pressure to buy anything having already bought tickets but sometimes people want a souvenir to take with them! Please speak to your tutor about this at the end.




Who Is This Workshop For?

These events are perfect for everyone - families, bushcrafters and dog-walkers alike! Nobody is made to feel out of their depth or silly for not knowing what certain things are, so these events suit absolute novices to more experienced hobby foragers alike.

We strongly believe that , with all demographics welcome, regardless of age, ability, gender or ethnicity.

Please read our FAQs further down the page to find out about dogs, children and mobility.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION


KIT LIST:

Attendees are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to the destination.

EXACT MEETING POINT: CONFIRMED AFTER PURCHASE OF TICKET (just after completing the checkout)

PARKING: Limited parking is available at Calderstones Park. Please be considerate when leaving your car by parking as close to the adjacent cars as you can, to allow the maximum number of cars in the car park. If the car park is full, on-street parking can be found in the nearby area, but please allow for the walking time to arrive at the meeting point. Do not block access or gates.

TOILETS: Toilets are not available at the start, but there is a cafe on site that may allow you to use them. Please note that our route may not pass this cafe so we suggest you allow time beforehand to use any facilities.

Please arrive well in time for the start of the workshop, allowing extra time for the distance from your parked car to the meeting point and any toilet trips - we don't tend to wait for late-comers!

Your foraging guide for the day should arrive on site at least an hour before the start and will start gathering the group together approximately 15 minutes before the official start time. If you cannot find your tutor around that time, there is a chance you are looking in the wrong place, so please check the event information for the exact location (not the postcode)

Signage can sometimes be limited, so keep an eye out for anyone with a foraging basket!

Minimum number of guests for this event to go ahead: 8 people

PLEASE NOTE: We do not provide guests with a contact telephone number for your tutor. This is for privacy puropses but also because it is impractical to do so - your tutor simply wouldn't be able to take a call whilst with a group. If you need to get in contact, please use the email function via eventbrite or our website.
