10am start (3.5/4hours approx.) Foraging and cooking workshop – Shalfleet village hall.
Come and wander around the grounds of the village hall and local footpaths whilst I teach you about the abundant wild edibles available. Then go out and apply your new found skills to locate seasonal ingredients (under my watchful eye) to cook ourselves a wild lunch, which we will all eat together in the beautiful 18th century barn conversion. There will definitely be a nettle soup and wild weedy pesto and probably cake to be cooked amongst many other fresh delights…Age 16+ only £35
