A walk in a Central London Park to celebrate the abundance of Winter.

We'll be moving slowly, identifying plants and fungi, sharing their stories, and speaking about the broader themes surrounding foraging.

We might chat about:

"How to look" for plants/mushrooms. This includes teaching basic plant/fungal taxonomy and identification skills, focussing on a few key families.The ecological roles of plants/fungi that we are looking at, including broader discussions about different ecosystems and how they function.Traditional plant and mushroom folklore. This might include a few longer stories.Flavour profiles and recipes for wild foods.Identifying and appreciating poisonous species.Traditional medicinal uses of plants and fungi, and how to make basic medicinal preparations. Foraging laws.Where foraging sits in conversations about sustainability and land politics.

The importance of urban green spaces and what we can do to advocate for them.

There will also be space for quiet, mindful appreciation of the land.

Rights For Weeds will provide wild snacks and hot drinks.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
