Crosby Ravensworth foraging and baking workshop
About
Join experienced forager and 2023 Great British Bake Off contestant Abbi for a day filled with wild food creativity. We'll start with a gentle foraging walk around the village of Crosby Ravensworth in the Eden Valley, learning how to identify and forage for different autumnal ingredients to use in our baking. We'll pick as we go, before returning to the village hall to enjoy a light lunch of wild food tasters prepared in advance for you. After lunch, we'll don our aprons and get baking, using the ingredients we gathered in the morning to create some delicious wild bakes for you to take home with you.Location:
Crosby Ravensworth, Eden Valley
Timings:
11am start till approximately 5pm finish
Accessibility:
This workshop is suited to people aged 10+ and all experience levels (in both foraging and baking). We'll be walking along the peaceful village lane, across flat field footpaths nestled in the heart of the rolling countryside, and alongside the river Lyvennet back into the village centre. The walk is mostly flat and steady underfoot, but due to stiles and narrow footpath gates, it is not suitable for mobility scooters. The loop is about 1.7 miles long, and we'll be stopping frequently to look at different species and pick our ingredients.
All dietary requirements can be catered for in the lunch, however please get in touch prior to booking if you have a dietary requirement that may affect the baking workshop (e.g. gluten free, vegan, nut free) and we'll make sure we're creating something that you can eat.
