Forage & Afternoon Tea – Early Summer
£75.00
Friday night camping included in the price!
Join us for an immersive day in Eryri National Park, where the beauty of the land becomes both our classroom and our wild food feast. Our Forage & Afternoon Tea is a women-only gathering; a modern-day tea party crafted to reconnect us with nature, creativity and community.
Learn the language of the land.
We begin with a guided 2-hour forage through woodlands, hedgerows and fields learning to identify, respect and responsibly gather the seasonal plants growing all around us. This walk is an invitation to begin understanding the language of the land.
You’re invited to our tea party.
Our 3-hour afternoon tea unfolds as a truly sensory experience, co-created with Kat from @sweettreattraveller, who is known for her enchanting, nature-inspired bakes, each one a small piece of edible magic. Expect a table that is beautifully wild and feels like mother nature herself has prepared us her favourite seasonal offerings.
It’s more than afternoon tea.
We’ll guide you in brewing wild tea combinations and assembling some of your foraged finds, as we talk you through the rest of your whimsical feast. We’ll explore each foraged component, its flavour and medicinal qualities, and ideas for how to incorporate more of nature into your own home-baking.
You’re warmly invited (but never expected) to lean into the spirit of the day, wear something that feels like your own version of “seasonal best,” suitable for the outdoors, as if you were dressing for a tea party with friends in nature. Think earthy tones, cosy layers, or anything that helps you feel connected to the landscape.
