About the event

Come along on a Forage & Wander, and explore the incredible abundance of wild edibles, as we take a walk through Weetslade Country Park, an area of woodland, meadow and hedgerow, which sits on a former coillery site just outside of Cramlington. We'll be searching for seasonal wild edibles as we explore, connecting to the landscape through food gathered by hand, and expanding on your own knowledge and understanding of an ancient skill.
