Summer Foraging Walk with Tellus Mater

We will be looking for wild fruits, herbs, mushrooms, and plants that are all around us and teaching you key identification features and preferred habitats to give a good introduction to foraging for your own wild food journey going forwards. We will stop to enjoy our own packed lunches midway, along with sampling some wild food makes and bakes brought along by your host, to show how easy it can be to incorporate your finds into everyday meals and cooking. We will be covering good foraging practice, preservation techniques and what species to look out for in the coming months. You may wish to bring a camera, notepaper, something to drink as we walk and ensure you have sturdy comfortable footwear and weather appropriate clothing for the wander. £35 per person, children over 12 years old are welcome but must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Classical Recorder Music in the Church

Enjoy classical recorder music with a French theme in the Priory Church, performed by the Nene Consort. There’s no extra charge or formal ticketing: feel free to pop in and out as you wish or take a pew and enjoy the whole hour. The Nene Consort will be playing an hour of music at 2pm and again at 3.30pm. Timings are approximate for this informal performance. These musicians have been performing since 1958. They play the full range of recorders from contrabass to soprano, and their repertoire is mostly renaissance and baroque music, with some compositions by modern composers and arrangers who specialise in recorder music. Families are very welcome. The church is accessed across a public road and has a threshold step with a ramp. It is not suitable for dogs although assistance dogs are welcome. Normal admission prices apply.
