Experience a dinner with a difference by joining the East Devon District Council Countryside team and food foraging expert, Chris Holland for a Wild food forage and cook up from 6:30pm to 9pm on Friday May 13 at Holyford Woods and Thursday May 19 at Knapp Copse.

Walk with Chris, who is a food foraging expert, through the countryside, looking out for various edible wild plants.

Countryside Team Leader, Tim Dafforn said:

‘’What better way to earn your dinner than by foraging for it and preparing it yourself in the great outdoors of the East Devon countryside?’’

After you have enjoyed an evening stroll learning about at least 15 edible plants, you’ll take part in a camp fire cook up.

Chris will teach you how to prepare the plants you have collected so they are ready to eat, then you’ll cook the plants on a campfire and taste the results for yourself.

If you would like to join the wild food forages taking place at Holyford Woods and Knapp Copse please book a place online: eastdevoncountryside.co.uk or contact the Countryside team; countryside@eastdevon.gov.uk, 01395 517557.
