Exploring Nature's Larder with Jim Parums

Join Jim as he shares his love of sustainable foraging, explains why he believes it’s a healthier and tastier way to eat, provides hints and tips for first-time foragers…and possibly shares a few seasonal treats with us too! Jim is founder and chief forager of Forage Box, who believe that wild and foraged food is tastier, healthier and better for the planet than food bought in the supermarket. Plus, time spent foraging is great for your mental and physical health… and it’s good fun too! Their mission is to reconnect people with nature through what they eat. Forage Box’s motto: Always Wild, Always Sustainable, Always Delicious is something they stand by and they want foraging to be recognised as a better way of sourcing our food. 60 mins presentation plus Q&A Expect samples and species focus for Spring £10.00 per person (If £10 is a stretch, use promo code WIW25 for a free/reduced ticket.) All money raised will come to Waste into Wellbeing to continue the brilliant work we do.

Concert by Pianist Martin Roscoe

RESCHEDULED SUNDAY 19TH APRIL 2026 2PM. Our opening 2025-2026 Concert by renowned pianist Martin Roscoe was unfortunately blighted by bad weather and had to be cancelled on the day. We are delighted to be able to reschedule and welcome Martin back to perform in Brantwood’s Drawing Room in April 2026. The ambience of a private drawing room affords the opportunity to meet the musicians and observe at close quarters the technique, interpretation and expertise of their performance in this most exquisite of venues. Performance is limited to forty so booking early is recommended ( or tel: ). Tickets £20 (includes an interval drink).
