Frequently asked questions
What foraging experiences do you run?
We run guided foraging walks and workshops across Sussex and Somerset (and beyond), hosted by Fern and friends. Seasonal workshops (£80 per person) combine a two-hour guided foraging walk with delicious wild food; specialist workshops include Mushroom Hunting (£95), Truffle Hunting with a truffle-filled lunch (£180) and Forage & Ferment, where you turn your finds into ferments to take home.
Can we book a private foraging course for our hen party?
Yes - stag and hen parties are one of our private-course groups. A private course is roughly a two-hour foraging walk followed by a 1 to 1.5-hour wild-food making and tasting workshop, finishing with a wild food meal. For groups of up to 5 people prices start from £750 on weekdays and £900 at weekends, then £96 per additional person; a 50% deposit secures your booking, and travel is charged as an extra.
Where do courses take place?
Public workshops run at locations around Worthing, Hove, Horsham, Brighton and wider Sussex, and in Somerset - the exact meeting point is emailed two weeks before the event. Private courses can be held on your own land or a local public green space, and Fern can recommend good foraging spots in your area.
We are complete beginners - is it suitable?
Completely. Our walks teach you how to safely and sustainably identify edible plants, flowers and fungi - including telling beginner-friendly mushrooms apart from poisonous lookalikes - woven with folklore, traditions and historical plant uses. You will receive a PDF summary after mushroom workshops to guide your future foraging.
What should we bring, and can you cater for diets?
Wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, and feel free to bring a small basket for samples plus a notebook or camera. We can happily cater for vegan diets on our workshops; unfortunately we cannot fully cater for gluten-free or coeliac diets on public workshops.
How do we book?
Book public workshops online through our courses calendar - if a session is not showing, it is fully booked. For private courses, email hello@foragedbyfern.com with your group size, location and ideas, and we will design the course around you.
