Stanmer Park, (near Brighton, meet at Urban Forage)

I’ve recently got together with Urban Forage and will be running some collaborations as well as my “WALKS” at Stanmer Park.  You’ll find information below on both and the upcoming dates.

WALKS: Flavour-Led Foraging walks are an introduction to foraging for flavour in order to teach on the rules and regulations, identification techniques, and the risks associated with wild food and drink. Throughout the walk we will identify seasonal ingredients and compare and contrast with their dangerous counterparts. During this I will be regularly visiting certain techniques of preservation and ways in which to create tasty wild ingredients to use at home along with a few tasters along the way.

For each type of fungi and also plants I will discuss techniques of preservation and ways in which to create tasty wild ingredients that can be used at home. I will follow up with detailed information surrounding what we have seen throughout the walk, links, literature and remain available to answer questions.

A further confirmation email will be sent 3 days prior to the Walk where any special requests and dietary requirements can be discussed.

Tickets are £40pp, limited to 18 people
