Detailed description:

Join Chris Bax (as seen in BBC's Countryfile), who has combined his love of the great outdoors and natural food with his skills as a chef, to create a day course that will inspire you to take wild food seriously as a staple ingredient of your diet.

Join him on a ramble in the parkland and surrounding countryside, learning about the shoots, roots, berries and leaves that are safe to eat, nutritious and, above all, tasty. You will spend about three hours walking with him as he shows you where to look and how to harvest the wild food growing in abundance on the estate.

This will culminate in a meal cooked for you at the cookery school around the demonstration table, where you will see the ingredients you have harvested being prepared by our cookery school chef.

Robust outdoor clothing and footwear essential, and please bear in mind that the first three hours of the course is spent outside walking in the parkland which is uneven terrain, and at times heavy going.

Please note: We regret that partners are unable to attend the lunch on this course.
