Duration: 10:00-14:30

We have a mixture of open pasture, ancient oak woodland and river estuary making it the perfect location to forage for edible plants and wild food.

The course is fun and informative and run by the hugely knowledgeable wild food experts from 7th Rise which is owned and run by Thom Hunt of River Cottage's Three Hungry Boys. After the foraging session you will be welcomed back to the cookery school kitchen to dine on a three course menu inspired by wild and foraged food. Our head chef George Pascoe will also be on hand to discuss cookery tips and do a couple of wild food demonstrations.
