foraging holidays:
Our foraging holidays are filled with good food, good company, and wholesome time spent in the great outdoors.
These are fun, hands-on wild food adventures where you’ll explore beautiful landscapes, learn how to identify and cook seasonal ingredients, and share the experience with a small group of like-minded people. Expect lots of learning about the land, laughter, tasting new and interesting dishes, and a real sense of discovery.
Each holiday is shaped by the season, from spring greens and hedgerow flavours to autumn mushrooms and coastal foraging.
No experience needed - just curiosity and a love of being outside!

why join a foraging holiday?
From a love of learning about the land, to a desire to meet new people, folks come along to our foraging holidays for all kinds of reasons!
So whether you want to learn wild food skills in a practical, hands-on way, are curious about plants, fungi, and folklore, or you just want a few days outside with good company, good food, and a proper sense of adventure, you are more than welcome!
All our foraging holidays are packed with activities, which are totally optional! Whether you'd like to get fully involved and learn as much as you can, or just take some time out to breath and be in nature, these holidays are all about doing what feels right for you. You'll be supported throughout.
These foraging holidays are relaxed, welcoming, and shaped by the season and the landscape we’re in, no two are ever quite the same.
We follow what the land is offering, meaning each day is guided by what’s growing, what’s in season, and what we can safely gather. This keeps everything fresh, spontaneous, and full of discovery.
Across the holiday you can expect:
-
guided foraging walks in beautiful wild places
-
learning how to identify and use seasonal ingredients
-
cooking and tasting wild food together
-
stories, folklore, and plant history woven through the day
-
plenty of time to wander, chat, and enjoy being outdoors.
Safety, respect for nature, and responsible foraging are always at the heart of everything we do, but the overall feel is fun, sociable, and full of curiosity.
TESTIMONIALS
"Fern, I just wanted to let you know how wonderful my time away at your foraging retreat has been. I wasn't really sure what to expect and felt a bit nervous about coming on my own, but I've had the most amazing time. Thank you for making me feel so welcome, for the incredible food and for sharing all your knowledge with us!"

One of the best experiences I've ever had in the great outdoors! I've always been someone to learn in a real environment and Fern was amazing in her passion and delivery of so much information as we wandered through the woodland and fields.
From the moment we met our fellow foragers there was a positive and welcoming vibe with the food at the end possibly the best I've ever eaten! Viva la foraging!
