Wake up from winter and join Steve England on a Spring Forage half-day workshop within the beautiful Stoke Park Estate, learning, identifying, foraging and sampling the vast array of edible foods available within and around the park.

Learn how to identify and tap the trees that provide drinkable sap, discover the wild foods from grasslands, woodland and hedgerows, and learn to identify edible trees such as lime.

Led by award-winning horticulturalist & conservationist, Steve England, this fun and informative course is a rare chance to discover the spring edibles on offer, see the poisonous look-alikes, and learn the importance of conservation for your future foraging adventures.

Booking essential and very limited places for this one-off private course. Over 16’s. We will be meeting at the Vench Adventure Playground, Romney Avenue, Lockleaze, BS7.

FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Yes – individuals attending should be over 16, this is an event designed for adults to attend and isn’t focused on activities for children. Foraging requires good understanding of what you are looking at, and unless properly supervised, children may pick plants and eat them if they see us adults doing it too, without knowledge of what they are doing, which can be super dangerous!

What can I bring into the event?

Feel free to bring drinks, snacks, your camera, and please wear the appropriate clothing and footwear for half a day in the outdoors!

Cancellation/Postponing due to Poor Weather

SE Outdoor Learning events take place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately we may need to be postponed or cancelled in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. We will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 – 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occassions, sudden weather changes may mean its closer than this). Please keep an eye on your emails and Facebook for information regarding this. If you cannot make the postponed date, please request a refund and we will be able to issue this for you asap.
