Join us for our annual incredible day of weaving and wild food! It feels like a mini festival! Weave a willow basket with lovely, talented teacher Amanda of Wyldwood Willow, bring it on its inaugural forage along the Severn Estuary coastline, meadows, hedgerows & woodland, learning how to gather wild ingredients, and enjoy wild food sips & nibbles throughout the day, ending in a delicious foraged late lunch! We hope you can join us for a very special and memorable Spring day on Saturday May 17th 2025, 9.30am-4pm https://www.gourmetgatherings.co.uk/service-page/a-day-of-weaving-foraging-wild-food This is one of my favourite offerings, Amanda and I have collaborated for this experience for 3 years now, and it is always the most lovely of days, attracting friends, couples and singles alike, immersing ourselves in nature, full of chatter and laughter, the therapy of the willow and the wild, in a beautiful location with scenic views, all complemented with delicious food and drink along the way!We will spend the day at Black Rock picnic area on the Severn Estuary, where the foraging is phenomenal and the views spectacular! We will meet at 9.30 am and begin with Amanda Rayner, the willow-weaving wizardess behind Wyldwood Willow, teaching us to weave a practical and beautiful foraging frame basket, with locally grown willows, whilst taking in the sights and sounds of the estuary and salt marshes. Throughout the morning we will enjoy foraged snacks and refreshments, which I will prepare with the finest seasonal & preserved wild ingredients. This peaceful and relaxing introduction to basket-making will give you a new skill, and leave you eager to get on with the next part of our inspiring day, to use the basket for its intended purpose! With your lovely new baskets in hand, we will explore the salt marshes, hedgerows, meadows and coastal flats, at this very special and particularly abundant spot on the Estuary. I will teach you how to find, identify, sustainably harvest and make delicious recipes with the myriad of wild foods we will encounter on our gentle & scenic meander. We will then return to the picnic site, having worked up an appetite for a splendid wild lunch overlooking the water at Black Rock, the home of the Lave Net Heritage Salmon Fishery, intrinsically linked to both willow weaving and foraging, hence why salmon must feature on the menu! Our late lunch may include such delicacies as fire-roasted salmon basted with wild garlic, wild mushroom miso soup, freshly baked foraged focaccia, pastries, freshly-picked wild salads, dips and hummus, and sweet and tasty foraged morsels for dessert, served overlooking the stunning estuary, tucking in whilst we chat about all things foraging & weaving related! This is one of my favourite offerings, in partnership with my gorgeous and talented friend Amanda. We have offered this experience for 3 years now, and it is always the most lovely of days, attracting friends, couples and singles alike, immersing ourselves in nature, full of chatter and laughter, the therapy of the willow and the wild, in a beautiful location with scenic views, all complemented with delicious food and drink along the way! We have always thankfully been blessed with wonderful sunshine, so we will have gazebos and awnings to offer you shade, and in the unlikely event of rain, protection from it.
