At long last, foraging events are now beginning to be organised, now that lock-down is easing off. Naturally, I will still be vigilant, and all events will have some risk assessment carried out to minimise Covid risks. So read on, to see what events are in store. As there seems to be a pent-up desire for activities, and numbers may be limited, some of these events will be booked up pretty quickly.
Foraging Walk and Cooking Demo
Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th July 2021 at 11am and 3pm
Portaferry, Co Down
Portaferry, Co Down
Organised through Portaferry Sailing Club as part of its Portaferry Sails and Sounds Festival, Dermot will lead a foraging walk around the area close to the town, followed by a cookery demonstration and taster session with local chef Mark Humphries, who will be using local seafoods and some of our foraged ingredients.
Places cost £22.50, and you must book through the sailing club at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/food-foraging-cooking-demonstration-tickets-158031948813?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
Join Dermot for a foraging walk around ECOS in Ballymena. The walk should last about 2 hours and will be along good-quality paths. While free, booking is essential in order to keep numbers controlled. If you book, please turn up!
