Whether you are new to foraging or looking to enhance your understanding, our three-hour foraging walks are an ideal opportunity to delve into the world of wild food.
Our wonderful host Alasdair Grant from Totally Wild will lead the session.
Please note this is an educational walk and we will not be harvesting from protected areas of the coast line. We will however bring some things for you to try!
WHAT TO EXPECT
To begin, we will discuss best practices and tips we’ve found along the way.
We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find.
During the event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.
You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions!
WHAT TO BRING
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside come rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a day of foraging.
Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk.
A pad or paper should you wish to take notes.
FOLLOWING THE EVENT
You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life.
PARKING
You can park for free at along Pett Level Road. We will gather at the Pett Level Independent Rescue Lifeboat Station by St Nichola's Church, Pett Level Rd, Hastings TN35 4EH.
