Enjoy a unique walk from Pier House into Duke’s Meadows guided by foraging expert Gemma Hindi of Earthwild. Gemma will be introducing you to a variety of wild food plants and offering advice on how to safely and sustainably make use of them. You will have the opportunity to sample treats and a drink made from local plants at the end of the session. Adults £25 (16+)/Children £15 (8+, must be accompanied by an adult)

The ancient skills of foraging are becoming increasingly popular not only as a means of finding fresh sustainable food but also as a way of reconnecting with nature and ancestry. You will be amazed at all the wonderful wild flavours and ways to enjoy them! Subjects covered during the walk will include: The Forager’s Code, botany basics, history and uses of wild edibles, skills for self-sufficiency.
