Foraging walks and workshops in Wiltshire and beyond, hosted by Mellisa and guest experts.

On our Foraging Courses you’ll see that wild food is everywhere, from our native woodlands, bountiful hedgerows and rural coastlines. The UK has so much to offer. Our team is constantly exploring and developing our range of foraging courses so we can make your learning experience as fun and valuable as possible.

Upcoming Foraging Days

Forage and Cookery Course

The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal! You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses. 

Autumn Mushroom Hunt

On our mushroom identification walks we will look at numerous topics including safe identification of gourmet grassland and woodland fungi, what clues to look for when getting to know mushrooms, preferred habitats of different species, what to eat and what not to eat, how to forage responsibly, foraging and the law, medicinal properties of fungi and much more.

Spring Foraging Workshop

Discover seasonal wild plants and fungi that can be foraged during Springtime. Learn what’s good to eat, as well as what not to eat, plus take home delicious recipe ideas. There’ll be a chance to taste wild plants way and create your own wild herb infusions. Plants we can expect to see include Nettles, Wild Garlic, Ground Elder, and Cleavers. Mushrooms may include Wood Ear and Turkey Tail.

A day well spent with Melisa and John on the Autumn mushroom hunt. I learnt about loads of new species and feel a lot more confident with my mushroom knowledge.

My daughter and I attended the forage and cookery course. I was surprised at the array of different ingredients we found. I'd would book again just for the wild garlic bread!
