Thoroughly enjoyed my forage and nibble session. It was informative but fun

What a day we had! Jim spoke with such passion and knowledge, what a brilliant expert in foraging he is. We learnt, we foraged, we ate dandelions raw and cooked, we connected with nature and spent the whole session thoroughly enthralled. It was a mindfulness experience. The cooking and sharing the tasks and eating together was great fun and the homemade wine was a really nice treat. Absolutely thoroughly recommend booking, we will go again later in the year to experience a different kind of foraging. Do it!

Knowledgeable and friendly host, learnt about what’s right under our nose. Great day out.

A lovely day, we came away with new knowledge and plenty of ideas. Thank you Richard!

Fantastic foraging day with Jim, his knowledge and friendly manner made it a really good learning experience and a very relaxed day. Lunch was very tasty, I now feel much more aware of my surroundings when out for a walk. It was a really enjoyable day

Attended a two hour course in Liverpool, Calderstones Park led by Rachael. Loved every minute of it. Very chilled and found lots of edible food. Rachael is very knowledgeable and has a lovely calm energy. She also brought some home-made products made from foraged food - nettle crisps, dandelion honey and others - we were able to sample these as well as some of the food we found on the walk. I attended this event with my 13 year old son who really enjoyed it and has really got the foraging bug now. Thanks so much Rachael and Forage Box x

Wow! What a day we had! Alex is so incredibly knowledgeable and generous with sharing his expertise. I learned so much and can’t wait to put it into practice. Alex was really patient and took care to make sure we all got what we wanted from the day. The feast afterwards was amazing! I will definitely be back to do another day with Alex - can’t recommend him highly enough! Thank you!

Wonderful experience! Rachel was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Very inspiring! It was so lovely to learn that several attendees were returning guests, and I'll definitely be booking onto another tour in the near future!

My wife and I did the forage and feast course near Kendal in Cumbria. Jim was an excellent guide- very knowledgeable and made us a fantastic feast.

The host Jim was very knowledgeable engaging and it was such intresting fun day very different from anything me an my partner have done before and after a wonderful few hours we got to eat what we'd picked plus had a meal that was full of so many different flavours and things we'd tried...with the added bonus of spectacular view

This is our 3rd experience with Forage Box, but this was our first coastal forage. The experience was brilliant as usual. And even the poor weather didn’t dampen the morning. Our guide was Jim whom we’ve been Lucky enough to have on our previous forage days. Jim is professional, knowledgeable, fun and makes sure we all gain confidence in what we’ve foraged. He genuinely wants us all to enjoy the experience but also to take the knowledge home to continue foraging . The location was perfect to forage for everything we were looking for. The food cooked for us was all foraged produce and extremely delicious.
We can’t wait for our next adventure with Forage Box.

Jim was a great tutor, and the food and experience was great

First time foraging experience in the Trough of Bowland. Bought by my husband as a birthday gift. It was a small group so it was easy to listen, learn and interact with our guide and each other. Gavin, our guide had such passion for the topic. He was very knowledgeable and identified many edible and inedible species of plant and their habitat. Lots of opportunity to get hands on and the foraged cook up at the end was lovely...we also each got a free gift of a calendar at the end. Thank you so much for such a unique, interesting experience. Happy to recommend 👌

Really enjoyable! Before doing this experience I had done some foraging by learning from books but doing the experience massively improved the amount of food I can find while I’m out and about. The tutor, Jim, was knowledgeable and friendly, and I will be looking to go to one of these events again! Also the food provided at the end of the session tasted amazing.

What a great experience. We had been meaning to do a foraging course for a while and this has really opened up a can of worms. We plan to go out again as soon as we can and try and learn more. Cannot recommend Gavin enough, his knowledge and experience was first class. We will seriously be considering a follow up course with Gavin again if he is in the area.

Booked a 3 hour forage along the Lancaster Canal on Sunday 22 March 2026. What a fabulous and enlightening experience it was. I had no idea there was so much edible (and poisonous) vegetation along such a short stretch of the canal. Jim was such an interesting and knowledgeable guide. The small pasta pot meal cooked at the end was excellent too. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

We were relatively experienced foragers but had no idea regarding the medicinal properties of such common and readily available plants. Emily was not only extremely knowledgeable but had a friendly and approachable presenting style. Would definitely book her again.
Good value also I thought. Will do again.

We had a lovely time in Borough Green (Kent) with Emily. She is super knowledgeable and was very helpful. It was a lovely experience, I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful few hours with Emily, she was very knowledgeable, patient & caring. I'm looking forward to trying the Oxymel that I made, & am already thinking that I might want to go on another Forage & Nibble event, at a different time of year, to be able to identify / taste other medicinal plants.

We were lucky to have a dry sunny day in March and to have Jim as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining with stories and anecdotes about all the specimens we could and should not eat. We learned how to collect safely and sustainably and how to cook and preserve certain items. It was incredible many delicious leaves, shoots, plants and buds we found in such a small stretch of the Lancaster canal.
