The Main Event

Discover the secrets of nature as you wander, gather, and immerse yourself in the wild wonders of the outdoors to create a wholesome afternoon tea, foraged with your very own hands.

Venture deep into the breathtaking landscapes of the South Downs National Park on this immersive foraging experience, where the land itself becomes your larder. Guided by expert foragers, scientists, and herbalists, you’ll unlock the hidden magic of mycelium, uncover the folklore of wild plants, and gain an understanding of their medicinal and culinary uses.

As you explore woodlands and hedgerows, you’ll learn how to safely identify edible plants, fungi, and berries, discovering their role in history, wellness, and cooking. Each step reveals something new—whether it’s an ancient herbal remedy, a forgotten flavour, or a surprising natural find hidden in plain sight.

Halfway through your journey, take a moment to enjoy a seasonal refreshment break, sampling handcrafted wild treats and drinks inspired by nature’s bounty. Then, with newfound knowledge, gather your own foraged ingredients to help create the highlight of the day—a full afternoon tea, crafted from the wild. Sip on fragrant wild herbal teas, savour freshly baked delicacies infused with the flavours of the land, and enjoy a spread of foraged delights, thoughtfully prepared to showcase the richness of nature. This is more than just a meal—it's an experience in slow living, deep connection, and mindful eating, enjoyed in the heart of the great outdoors.

This experience is perfect for foodies, outdoor lovers, hikers, herbalists, and anyone looking to reconnect with nature. Whether it’s a Christmas gift, birthday surprise, or wellness treat, this full-day adventure makes a thoughtful and unique present for those who love the idea of wild food and foraging gifts.
