Wild Food Forage & Feast Cookery – Full Day Adventure in Wales

Unlock the secrets of the landscape on this hands-on, full-day foraging and cookery adventure. Guided by Gavin—military-trained, first aid certified, and with over 30 years’ experience—you’ll explore meadows, woodlands, and hedgerows, learning to spot and safely gather edible wild plants and fungi.

What’s Included:

• Extended Foraging Walk: Up to 4–5 km (tailored to group ability), identifying at least 15–20 edible wild species. Learn safe identification, ethical harvesting, and the folklore behind your finds.
• Hands-On Cookery: Set up a simple outdoor kitchen and turn your foraged haul into a multi-dish wild feast—think soups, stews, fritters, salads, and homemade wild condiments. All prepared and enjoyed together.
• Expert Guidance: Practical tips, field-tested recipes, and stories from decades of foraging and teaching.
• Q&A Throughout: Ask about safety, sustainability, recipes, or how to get started at home.
• Community Feel: Small group size for a friendly, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere.

• Open to all experience levels—no prior foraging or cooking knowledge needed.
• Individuals, families, and small groups welcome.
• Children aged 12+ (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).
• Walks are planned with group abilities in mind. If you have accessibility needs, allergies, or concerns, please contact Gavin before booking.
