These have become our most popular events and are available at numerous locations around the country. DURATION: 3 hours (approx 2.5 hours of foraging and 30 mins preparing and eating your wild snack)We like to keep some elements a surprise for the da y\, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop:a short in troduction regarding the safety and format of the daydiscussions around fo raging tips\, safety\, ethics\, etiquette\, sustainability and the lawa ci rcular walking route taking in different growing environments around the s ite. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpathsa closer loo k at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional fo ragera chance to slow the pace of modern life down\, meet new people and i mmerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity\, reconnecting with nature a nd discovering new flavourssmall tasters of wild food - this may even incl ude freshly-picked items straight from the wild and a wild snack. Your wil d snack might be something we find on the day freshly cooked in the woods\ , a hunk of homemade sourdough with some wild pickles and preserves\, or e ven a big slice of cake (our tutors are decent cooks too so it could be so mething even better!)our workshops are run in a welcoming and informal fas hion\, where attendee questions and contributions are encouragedafter 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 our wild products and workshop vouchers available to purchase (card and cash a ccepted). This is a recent element of our events after enough attendees ma de enquiries about it - there is no pressure to buy anything having alread y bought tickets but sometimes people want a souvenir to take with them! P lease speak to your tutor about this at the end.Who Is This Workshop For?T hese events are perfect for everyone - families\, bushcrafters and dog-wal kers alike!
