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.

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.

SUMMARY:Morris into May...
DESCRIPTION:Morris Into May\nThe success of the 2025 event has led us to schedule it once more. \nAs the last vestiges of Winter are beaten back by the arrival of Summer\, we welcome warmer\, sunnier and altogether more colourful days.

Donations welcome. \nMerry Morris\, the Green Man and the May Monarch\nWhen you’ve had the chance to make your crowns\, Beorma will strike up at 14:00 with their Border dances to entertain you all. Then the Wild Man of the Wood will then introduce the folklore of May and its merry connotations\, before we gather for our Coronation procession onto the Archery Lawn. Here\, our chosen May Monarch will be crowned\, and the last of Winter chased away in true Border Morris fashion. \nIt’s a chance to indulge in a bit of Merrie Old England\, and welcome in the Summer\, all in the Merry Month of May! \nCome dressed in white and florals\, with head-dresses and all manner of folky accoutrements\, and you might just be chosen to be crowned as our May Monarch! \n \nEntry fees apply.
