Hosted by founders Jamie and Sheena Corry, this immersive experience is designed for curious food lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone eager to reconnect with the origins of what they eat. It’s part adventure, part feast, and entirely unforgettable.
A Magical Mystery Tour of Land and Flavour
The day begins gently at 9am with a warm welcome of tea, coffee, and thoughtfully prepared nature-inspired snacks. From the very start, the tone is clear: slow down, breathe deeply, and tune into the environment around you.
By 9:30am, guests set off on a guided foraging walk through The Forge woodland and the historic Iron Age Hill Fort. This is where the experience truly comes alive. Under Jamie and Sheena’s guidance, participants learn to identify edible plants, discover seasonal ingredients, and gain insight into the ecosystems that sustain them. It’s equal parts education and wonder — a reminder that the landscape is both pantry and teacher.
From Field to Fire
At 11am, the experience shifts from discovery to preparation. Guests who wish to take part can learn the fundamentals of wild game preparation — a rare opportunity to understand the full journey of ethically sourced food. The focus remains respectful, educational, and rooted in sustainability.
By midday, the group gathers around the campfire to cook with everything harvested and foraged throughout the morning. The menu is never predetermined. Instead, it evolves from what the land provides — a true celebration of seasonality.
Past feasts have included dishes such as wild pigeon breast with caramelised hazelnuts and blackberry sauce, wild venison loin served with potatoes, yarrow and goosegrass, and a beautifully simple bilberry and honey cranachan for dessert. To finish, sloe gin chocolate truffles offer a sweet nod to local flavours. But no two days are ever the same — and that unpredictability is part of the magic.
A Feast for Body and Imagination
At 1pm, guests sit down together to enjoy a lavish outdoor feast — a meal made richer by the shared effort behind it. There is something uniquely powerful about eating food you helped gather and prepare, surrounded by the landscape that provided it.
The afternoon continues with storytelling at 3pm, as a local storyteller brings Welsh myths and legends to life. These tales, rooted in the same land explored earlier, add a layer of cultural connection that deepens the experience beyond food alone.
For those seeking a playful challenge, a friendly axe-throwing competition follows at 4pm — an energising close to a day that balances learning, creativity, and connection.
