LGBTQ+ Forriging at Golden Acre Park

We will be meeting in the Golden Acre Car Park (Leeds LS16 9JY) at 10am. Keep an eye out for Kat who has a blonde mullet and glasses - they’ll be at the meeting point early holding a foraging basket! You can find them on instagram here

This session is accessible for all ages and abilities, we will be walking at a slow pace around the park and the route we’ll be taking is wheelchair accessible. There will be time at the end of the walk to have a coffee, nibbles and cake (vegan options available) in Golden Acre Cafe.

This foraging trip will be a chance to spend a peaceful morning with fellow foraging enthusiasts and members of the Leeds LGBTQ+ community.

Please bring a container/bag if we find edible mushrooms or plants you’d like to take any

home. Dress appropriately for the weather and wear appropriate footwear. Bring a water bottle and snacks and if you’d like to draw anything we see, bring along a sketchbook.
