Foraging Trips
Our foraging trips are very popular. The crop depends on season and ranges from a wide variety of edible mushrooms, wild garlic and sorrel, bitter cress, pennywort, wimberries, edible flowers and wild strawberries. Spring forages will be more about the hedgerow, summer will be fruits and flowers and the autumn will have a more mushroom focus. We work with two organisations to bring you the best foraging experience
Foraging & Making with Liz Knight
Liz Knight has spent the last 10 years gathering and playing with wild food. Her courses are designed to open you eyes to how the commonest of weeds can be transformed into the most exciting, nutritious and sustainable of foods.
Liz will take you for a walk on the hotel grounds to collect foraged goodies. Back at the hotel Liz will show you how to make delicious foraged recipes to take away. A set lunch is also included.

- July 5
- September 6
Costs: £100 per person with lunch. Payment made in advance.
