- **Event Name**: Wild Food, Foraging & Wilderness Cookery (Spring)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Spring in the woods is an exciting time for foraging wild foods with fresh spring greens sprouting up everywhere. Join us as we explore the world of edible plants. “Food tastes better outdoors” is a common phrase but it tastes even better when you have gathered and prepared it yourself.

Edible wild plants are often viewed with suspicion and thought to be bitter or tasteless, only to be eaten as a last resort. But to the forager, our woodlands and hedgerows are full of tasty and filling wild food opportunities.

This one day course looks at some of the best and tastiest ways to enjoy wild food. Your course is all set against the backdrop of mixed woodlands, wetlands and open meadows of Park In The Past, with 120 acres of wild space to explore in the search for "food for free."
