Private foraging experiences generally follow a similar format as the public events, Learn to Forage (3 hours), Forage and Feast (5 hours plus a pre-prepared foraged picnic), and Forage and Dine (6 hours plus a 3-course foraged meal made with your foraged ingredients); However, unlike the public events we can modify a private experience to suit your group.
For example, you may all be experienced foragers or all beginners, maybe you’re looking for a corporate well-being/team building experience, a family group, or a group of chefs/caterers wanting to be able to add foraged items to your menu.
We can use one of our many regular foraging sites around the UK, or we can come to you if that suits you better.
What to expect
Learn to Forage
Learn to Forage is a 3-hour event.
We’ll begin with introductions and we’ll run through some of the important things to remember about foraging including how to forage safely, responsibly, sustainably, and legally.
From there we’ll move off and see what interesting plants, trees and fungus we can find. We’ll talk about the potential uses for what we find, and we’ll bring along some pre-made samples for you to try.
And it doesn’t end there – within a couple of days of your event, we’ll email you a list of the plants, trees, and fungus we’ve talked about as a reminder.
Forage & Feast
Forage & Feast is a 5-hour event.
We’ll begin with introductions and we’ll run through some of the important things to remember about foraging including how to forage safely, responsibly, sustainably, and legally.
From there we’ll move off and see what interesting plants, trees and fungus we can find. We’ll talk about the potential uses for what we find, and we’ll bring along some pre-made samples for you to try.
Once the walk is finished, we’ll find somewhere suitable to stop and set up the picnic of foraged goodies that we’ve brought along. We’ll explain what all of the foods and drinks are and how they were made, and there will be plenty of time for questions while we enjoy the food.
And it doesn’t end there – within a couple of days of your event, we’ll email you a list of the plants, trees, and fungus we’ve talked about as a reminder.
Forage & Dine
Forage & Dine is a 6-hour event.

Once the walk is finished, we’ll find somewhere suitable to stop and set up our cooking gear. You’ll be sent off to harvest some of the wild food we’ve identified during the walk, and we’ll incorporate that into our 3-course dinner. There will be plenty of time for questions during and after our meal.
And it doesn’t end there – within a couple of days of your event, we’ll email you a list of the plants, trees, and fungus we’ve talked about as a reminder.
