Walks and Workshops
I offer walks and workshops on the seasons, foraging, folk herbalism and folklore. Each walk/workshop emphasises practical knowledge and a respectful relationship with the land, infused with heritage and the imagination of folklore. These take place in different natural settings around Sheffield. See more info here.
The groups are usually up to 10 people per walk/workshop and aim to be 1.5-2 hours long, including some potential tasting activities at the end.
You can also follow me on Eventbrite to see some of my latest events.

The open day runs from 10:00am–1:00pm, while this workshop runs from 10:30am until 12:00pm at the latest, to allow time for a relaxed finish, including tasting and informal discussion.
Together we’ll explore the edible and useful plants growing throughout the site, learning how to identify them and discussing their potential modern uses, including current research into nutrition and herbal applications. We’ll also uncover their traditional uses, folklore and cultural history.
This relaxed walk offers a chance to see nature in a new light, revealing the folk stories, practical knowledge and historical connections that surround these often overlooked plants.
