Foraging Gift Vouchers
Price range: £40.00 through £85.00
Give the gift of a half-day (2.5h-3.5h) or full-day (6h) foraging experience in Sheffield, Manchester, Northallerton or Huddersfield. The recipient can book whichever location and date suits them.
Taught by James, an experienced forager, the courses cover the basics of identifying and gathering wild food. Two foraging course options also include lunch.
You will be emailed the voucher to give to the recipient. Vouchers are valid for at least one year from the date of purchase. The expiry date is the date by which you need to book, not necessarily the date you need to attend the course. The full value of the voucher can also be put towards any course.
A thoughtful gift idea for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, or any other special occasion.

FAQ
What’s the best time of year to go on a foraging course?
When I’m running the courses from March to November, there is no “best” time to come, as they are all good, just for different reasons. Each month and season offers things that are unique to that month and season, so if you are interested in learning foraging in general, then any course in any month will be equally good.
That said, if you are particularly interested in things that can be used in salads and as vegetables, Spring and early Summer are best. If you are interested in learning about mushrooms specifically (and aren’t bothered about much else), then Autumn (September – November) is best.
Do you run mushroom foraging courses?
While I don’t run mushroom-specific courses, mushrooms will heavily dominate any course from September to November, and there is a massive mushroom focus during those times. Those fascinated by fungi or wanting to learn mainly mushrooms will not be disappointed with the courses I run in the Autumn. They are basically “mushroom foraging courses”, but ones where I also mention a handful of other non-mushroom related species that are of interest at that time.
Can I bring my dog?
Well-behaved dogs on leads are more than welcome.
Is the route suitable for pushchairs?
Some areas will be tricky for a pushchair. A baby carrier would be a better option.
What do I need to bring?
A few days before the course, I will email you a short list of what you need to bring. After the course, I will email you a summary of the species we found to help you remember what you have learned.
What if I change my mind or can’t make it?
If you change your mind after booking a course or can’t make it on the day, please let us know as soon as possible, and a full refund will be issued, or if you prefer, you can re-arrange to book on a different available date.
