Calling all gin lovers and countryside walkers! This truly unique experience in the Welsh countryside will help you explore the delicious and beautiful things you can find in woodlands and meadows, all washed down with a delicious gin drink.

Your expert forager leading this special class has partnered with Silver Circle Distillery so that you can explore two fun and exciting activities. Wild foraging and gin distilling.

Starting with the foraging, you will journey along the Severn Estuary coastal flats, meadows and hedgerows. This gentle guided walk takes you through a bountiful area brimming with delicious edible treats and stunning views.

Learn all about a wide variety of seasonal and wild ingredients, each one with a unique flavour and aroma profile that will go perfectly into your handmade gin.

With your freshly harvested ingredients in hand, you will then head to the distillery where you will be welcomed with some refreshing gin cocktails like a classic gin and tonic. You'll be taken through some demonstrations as you learn how gin is made as you sip on some samples.

Then it'll be your turn to craft your own gin as your blend, measure and bottle 70cl creation to take home and remember the delightful afternoon you enjoyed here.

I am passionate about all aspects of wild food: how it is sought and found, how it is harvested, processed and ultimately eaten and enjoyed! The delicious and nutritious bounties of the nature surrounding us daily, are astoundingly unknown and forgotten. I consider myself an ambassador of wild food, that is any edible which is occurring, growing or living in a natural state. Not domesticated, cultivated nor tamed.

Since childhood, I have been entranced and intrigued by the natural world. I have also always been greedy, my first word was “more”. My earliest memories either involve food or creatures, or both! Having developed my lifetime passion for nature into a career, I am now a forager, educator, purveyor, consultant and chef of wild food.

I forage daily, meaning I go out and search for all varieties of wild edibles, in the stunning county of Monmouthshire, South Wales, where I am based, and beyond. I would love to share my knowledge and appreciation of wild edibles with you, whether it be in the capacity of a foraging teacher on a guided excursion, or as a wild food chef and consultant or collaborator.
