Spring Forage with a Wild Food Feast

Spend the afternoon learning about the world of wild abundance here on the Isle of Arran.

You will have fun soaking up the mystical landscapes and ancient history of the island as you taste your way through the wild larder on offer.

Duration: 2.5 hours

Level: Beginner

Location: Brodick, Isle of Arran (meeting point TBC via email)

Meal Provided: Yes

In spring we see life returning to the land and spreading vibrant shades of green across the landscape. The taste of spring is found in the fresh shoots of many wild edibles. Typically spring is when a wide variety of wild food is most tender and delicious.

The Wild Food Feast will involve freshly cooking up what we have gathered along the way with some additional foraged and homemade sides. The specific food will depend on what is most abundant and delicious at the time. We will enjoy eating and cooking together outside. Some of the food will be prepared ahead of time, so if you have any dietary requirements or preferences please let me know in the event registration form at the checkout or email me details on zoe@wildfoodarran.com.

This event is two and a half hours long and the pace will be slow, with plenty of stops for tasting, discovering and discussing.

The walk is open to all age groups. Children under 16 are free of charge but will need to be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are very welcome at all Wild Food Arran walks, providing they are happy to be around groups of excited people. If you have any special requirements we encourage you to get in touch with access@wildfoodarran.com

Things you will need to bring:

• A bag or basket for your treasures along the way.
• Warm and waterproof clothes, a decent coat at least.
• Wellies or other comfy waterproof shoes.
• Notepad or phone to take notes and pictures.
• A bottle of water/drink each for lunch.

All Wild Food Arran foraging walks will go ahead in wet weather. Only storms or dangerous winds will lead to cancellations. I recommend coming prepared for rain. Please read through the Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy for more info.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
