About this Event
An EXCLUSIVE foraging event, where our lucky guests will be welcomed with a guided foraging session before heading back to our amazing fireside dining space, where our finds will be cooked up alongside other amazing wild ingredients to create a feast like no other!

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, which will then be included in your evening meal!
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!)
"This is the absolute pinnacle of my foraging year. It takes me months to prepare for it and I absolutely love the celebratory experience our guests have." - Jim, Forage Box Founder and your chef for the evening
What To Expect
Events like these don't happen all the time and we want to make it as special as possible for those attending. This is undoubtedely the highlight of our workshops calendar, giving us an opportunity to flex our culinary skills, show off the finest foraged ingredients and enjoy a celebratory atmosphere!
DURATION: 6+ hours (3 hours of foraging, followed by an extension sit-down dining experience)
After the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day and a full menu. 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.
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.

PARKING: There is plenty of free parking at this venue. Please be considerate when leaving your car and do not block gates or access for other road users.
TOILETS: Toilets are available at this venue.
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: 10 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.
