About this Event
Foraging walk in People's Park
Experienced forager Jane Simmons (aka The Hitchin Forager) will lead a 2-hour guided afternoon walk through People's Park, High Town, Luton, followed by a mini taster session.
During the walk, you will:
- learn how to forage safely and legally
- identify both edible and poisonous plants as they appear en route

Wild refreshments and tasters will be provided after the walk in a nearby back garden.

People's Park is a large park with several entrances. We'll meet at the green flag near the community orchard on the Havelock Road side of the Park. You'll find the flag post along the diagonal path across the park between Kingston Road and Havelock Road/corner of Clarendon Road.

Parking
There is a small car park off Havelock Road by the playground, but spaces tend to fill up. Kingston Road has free on-street parking, but again, spaces are limited. Kingston Road will be also be where we'll end the walk with the taster session.
Footwear and accessibility
Please wear suitable footwear and clothing. This is a slow-paced gentle walk, but some of the paths in People's Park are quite steep.
If you have an access need, please contact us before you book. We may be able to tweak the route to make it navigable with a mobility scooter, for example. The back-garden for the taster session is accessed via 6 steep steps.
Weather
Should heavy rain or storm be forecast, we may have to postpone the walk. We'll contact all ticket holders should this be the case.
This event is organised by Edible High Town and Friends of People's Park.
