Foraging Workshops at Kelmarsh Hall

*From the organisers (correct at the time of publishing), please see the organiser’s website for the latest details.

Have you ever foraged for delicious wild foods before? Would you like to learn what is in season that can be foraged safely with a little care, to supplement your diet? Come along to Kelmarsh Hall & Gardens to be guided around the beautiful estate by local expert Lizzy from Tellus Mater who will take you on a wander to seek delectable hedgerow and woodland edibles that are full of surprising Summer or Autumn flavours! We will be looking for edible wild fruits, herbs, mushrooms and plants that are all around us and teaching you key identification features/preferred habitats to give a good introduction to foraging for your own wild food journey going forwards.
There will be a chance to sample some wild food makes and bakes brought along by your host to show how easy it can be to incorporate your finds into everyday meals and cooking.
We will be covering good foraging practice, preservation techniques and what species to look out for in the coming months after your foraging session with Lizzy.
You may wish to bring a camera, notepaper, something to drink as we walk and ensure you have sturdy comfortable footwear/weather appropriate clothing for the wander.Dates of sessions: Friday 29th May, Monday 20th July and Thursday 13th August.
Timings: 10.30am – 1.30pm.
Tickets £40 per adult.
