You’re Walking Past Dinner Every Day. What if your next meal was growing just beyond the footpath?”Join Marlow Renton from Wild Food UK for a powerful, eye-opening Real Talk Fridays talk that will completely change the way you see the land beneath your feet. From the edges of Kingsettle, through Duncombe Woods, to the hedgerows, lanes, and chalk landscapes surrounding Shaftesbury, this is an invitation to rediscover the familiar and realise just how much abundance we’ve been walking past all along.
Marlow is a leading voice in modern foraging, an expert forager and educator, and the founder of Wild Food UK a movement dedicated to reconnecting people with nature through ethical, sustainable, seasonal wild food. This isn’t about gimmicks or survival skills. It’s about rebuilding a relationship with the land, noticing what’s already there, and rethinking where food really comes from. His work challenges modern food systems and invites us to look beyond supermarket shelves towards a more connected, sustainable way of living.
Marlow is co-author of two of the countries most popular foraging books, both Amazon Bestsellers. In addition, he has recently released a Wild Food Cookbook that has been shortlisted for a World Gourmand Award. He is also the founder of Youtube Foraging Channels with over 75,000 subscribers.
Drawing on years of experience foraging across the UK, Marlow will share real stories from the field, practical foraging insights, and eye-opening perspectives on food, sustainability, wellbeing, and lost knowledge which will help us to enjoy even more our woods and everyday green spaces within our lovely Cranborne Chase and Blackmore Vale.
“Once you know what you’re looking at, every walk becomes a conversation.”
“I’ll never walk through the woods the same way again.”
“Grounded, inspiring, and completely mind-shifting.”
Whether you’ve wandered through the countryside a hundred times or you’re simply curious about what grows along local paths and fields, this talk will leave you seeing your surroundings, and your food, in a whole new way.
This talk is for nature lovers, foodies, locals, sustainability thinkers, and the curious!
Tickets: £20
