SUMMARY:WildFoodUK Foraging Course
DESCRIPTION:Foraging safely… Even here in the city\, Nature offers wonderful habitats and food for free. Join us and WildFoodUK for a fascinating stroll in the ‘urban countryside’. A first level course in foraging.\nCastle Bromwich Hall and Gardens represent a rare example of a 17th century Jacobean country house\, complete with its original garden setting and parkland. Situated only five miles from Birmingham City centre\, the hall is now in private ownership\, but 40 acres of historic garden and the parkland are managed by Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens Trust. The site contains a mosaic of habitats including formal gardens\, orchards\, woodland\, wetlands and grasslands making it ideal for all year round foraging! \nOur Foraging Courses begin with a short introduction to Wild Food UK\, what to expect from your day and a brief summary of the general countryside codes\, including our Foraging Code. \nHeading off at a leisurely pace\, your instructor will teach you how to safely identify the different species of edible and poisonous plants and mushrooms that you discover. This exploration will take about 2.5hrs\, during which we’ll take a break for a homemade refreshment\, such as our Hogweed & Wild Garlic Soup or Elderflower Champagne! \nThen it’s back to the meeting point for a tasty wild food meal. This will include a selection of foraged homemade treats created by your instructor\, and a dish made with what we have collected during the walk. \nAll of our food is seasonal\, so what you are served depends on what is growing at that time of year. In Spring we will be making use of the fresh wild greens and in Autumn\, the array of tasty wild mushrooms that the area has to offer. \nYou will receive a comprehensive set of Wild Food UK ‘Course Notes’ a few days after your course. This email will contain links and articles relating to the plants and mushrooms we discovered or discussed during the day. \nDates \n\nFriday 24th April (12-3.30pm)\nSunday 10th May (12.3.30pm)\nSaturday 11th July (10am- 1.30)\nSunday 16th Aug  (12-3.30pm)\n\nCastle Bromwich Hall and Gardens has free parking\, a courtyard cafe and toilet facilities. There is usually a charge to enter the gardens\, but if you are attending a course with us we will cover the cost.  \nDiscover more about this Historical Landmark: Castle Bromwich Hall and Gardens \nN.B. Please be aware of the possibility that you will also cover Steep slopes\, rough woodland on this course. \n  \nTickets here

SUMMARY:History Adventures! Dancing\, Knights and Sieges...
DESCRIPTION:Knights\, Castles and Music! 8th and 9th August\n \n  \nThe weekend’s events:\nAcross both days\, joins us and expert interactive history buffs History Adventures and Medieval musicians\, Merrie Noyse for a day of hands-on history. \nSir Stephen de Blennerhayset and Lady Eleanor are ready to take you on a journey to the high life of the Middle Ages.\nThree shows across the day\, will immerse participants and spectators into the world of the Medieval Great Hall. Learn how to become a knight with sword-in-hand in Knight School\, step to the 14th century beat with our Medieval Dance show\, and learn how castles work whilst building (and destroying) them in Castle Siege. \n  \nThe Shows: morning\, lunchtime and afternoon.\nKnight School – 30 mins \nLearn about what it takes to be a Knight\, both on and off the battlefield. See if you can follow instructions as you discover how a child went through the process to become a Knight. If you perform well\, and show proficiency with a sword\, then you might be granted the greatest honour most could hope for in the Medieval world and be granted your very own Knighthood! \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMedieval Dance – 30 mins \nKnights wouldn’t always be at battle. Sometimes they liked to throw massive feasts and banquets to impress their peers\, and what better way to impress them than by showing them how good you are on the dance floor! Learn real medieval dances and party like it’s 1369! \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCastle Siege – 45 mins \nBuild a castle\, learning how they are constructed in the process\, what is called what\, and some of the ingenious ideas used to defend the fortresses of the Medieval world. Building the castle\, however\, is only half the fun. Once it is finished\, learn about some of the ways that you can attack a castle before besieging it with catapults. \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nLawn Games All Day\nFor many visitors it is the games that we provide that are the highlight. Our games are all Medieval games that transport players back in time. We fill our Games Arena with many different games\, that are relevant to the period\, that visitors can play at their leisure and return as much as they want. \nOur Games Arena gives visitors something to enjoy from the moment the gates open to the end of the day. Some games are simple\, others have more intricate rules\, and this spread means that there is something for all. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWandering Troubadours\nMerrie Noyse will add the soundtrack to the day\, wandering throughout the Gardens with their Medieval instruments\, bringing the sounds of the Middle Ages to these Baroque gardens. Won’t their music sound fabulous in the Music Room? \n \n  \nFees: entry fees apply\, £6 for adults and £5 for concessions (over 65s or full-time students)\, and under 16s are free! The Knights and Dragon Trail will be £1 for under 16s.

SUMMARY:WildFoodUK Foraging Course
DESCRIPTION:Foraging safely… Even here in the city\, Nature offers wonderful habitats and food for free. Join us and WildFoodUK for a fascinating stroll in the ‘urban countryside’. A first level course in foraging.\nCastle Bromwich Hall and Gardens represent a rare example of a 17th century Jacobean country house\, complete with its original garden setting and parkland. Situated only five miles from Birmingham City centre\, the hall is now in private ownership\, but 40 acres of historic garden and the parkland are managed by Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens Trust. The site contains a mosaic of habitats including formal gardens\, orchards\, woodland\, wetlands and grasslands making it ideal for all year round foraging! \nOur Foraging Courses begin with a short introduction to Wild Food UK\, what to expect from your day and a brief summary of the general countryside codes\, including our Foraging Code. \nHeading off at a leisurely pace\, your instructor will teach you how to safely identify the different species of edible and poisonous plants and mushrooms that you discover. This exploration will take about 2.5hrs\, during which we’ll take a break for a homemade refreshment\, such as our Hogweed & Wild Garlic Soup or Elderflower Champagne! \nThen it’s back to the meeting point for a tasty wild food meal. This will include a selection of foraged homemade treats created by your instructor\, and a dish made with what we have collected during the walk. \nAll of our food is seasonal\, so what you are served depends on what is growing at that time of year. In Spring we will be making use of the fresh wild greens and in Autumn\, the array of tasty wild mushrooms that the area has to offer. \nYou will receive a comprehensive set of Wild Food UK ‘Course Notes’ a few days after your course. This email will contain links and articles relating to the plants and mushrooms we discovered or discussed during the day. \nDates \n\nFriday 24th April (12-3.30pm)\nSunday 10th May (12.3.30pm)\nSaturday 11th July (10am- 1.30)\nSunday 16th Aug  (12-3.30pm)\n\nCastle Bromwich Hall and Gardens has free parking\, a courtyard cafe and toilet facilities. There is usually a charge to enter the gardens\, but if you are attending a course with us we will cover the cost.  \nDiscover more about this Historical Landmark: Castle Bromwich Hall and Gardens \nN.B. Please be aware of the possibility that you will also cover Steep slopes\, rough woodland on this course. \n  \nTickets here
