Mitch will demonstrate what can be unearthed, sharing his local knowledge and ‘craic’. The crop depends on the season but with every step there are mouth-watering morsels to be uncovered; edible mushrooms, wild garlic and sorrel in the forest, and along the shoreline, delicious seaweeds, mussels, samphire and the unappetising sounding, but totally scrumptious, scurvy grass.
Against a backdrop guaranteed to be breath-taking, adults and kids will have a delightful experience sustained by freshly picked nibbles and refreshing brews, like Bog Myrtle Tea, made on an open fire, collecting wild snacks along the route.
Taking you back in time, learn about a lost way of life where our ancestors ate a seasonal diet and rediscover the lost skills of foraging and fire lighting.
