Worcestershire Spring Wild Food Foraging Course/Walk

The beautiful Manor Arms pub offers the perfect venue for a Wild Food Foraging Walk. Set in the picturesque village of Abberley, it is surrounded by areas with wild greens and mushrooms to forage for. It is easy to reach from Birmingham, Kidderminster, Evesham, Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Evesham, and Worcester.

When we meet up, we will go through the basics of foraging before heading out over the village's range of habitats, including woodland, hedgerows, watersides, parkland, and meadows.

The course includes: 
- an overview of foraging laws and safety best practice 
- exploration of the venue introduction to a number of edible species 
- instruction on how to tell edible species apart from poisonous lookalikes 
- tips on harvesting 
- information on where to find these species again 
- recipe ideas 
- wild food treats to sample 
- digital information sheet sent after the course 

Samples of tasty wild food treats can include soups, pestos, salts, pickles, syrups, cordials, jams, jellies, leathers, vinegars, and preserves. All are either 100% plant/fungi-based or have a 100% plant/fungi-based alternative.

Participants must be aged 18 or over - sorry, no children under 18 or babes in arms on this course.

Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on the course.

Exact meet-up location and further information sent two days before the course date.

We cannot guarantee what wild edibles will be growing on our courses, such is the nature of foraging. However, as a rough guide of the seasons, spring is usually predominantly plants and perhaps some mushrooms; summer is usually plants, fruits and perhaps some mushrooms, and autumn is usually predominantly mushrooms with some plants, fruits and nuts
