Foraging at West Dean

About

Step away from the everyday and discover the delicious wild foods growing across the West Dean estate. Whether you're new to foraging or want to deepen existing knowledge, join a professional forager for a relaxed, hands-on walk through the landscape of the South Downs.

You'll learn how to forage responsibly, identify wild plants and fungi safely, and turn your finds into delicious food - with plenty of practical tips and inspiration to take home.

The event takes place outdoors, rain or shine, so please come dressed for the weather.
