All packages include a one-night B&B stay at the hotel and start at £166 pp for the experience + B&B stay.
Foraging Fun
Wild food expert Adele Nozedar - author of the The Hedgerow Handbook and Foraging with Kids - takes guests into the foray and helps them learn what edible wild plants grow in the countryside.
From spring herbs, to autumn berries and fungi what will be found depends on the time of year. You will leave inspired to find and eat wild food.
Runs on the last Sunday of the month.
