Join Shaun at Eastbrookend Country Park on Saturday the 5th of August for a Blackberry Foraging Walk! We'll show you how to forage delicious, juicy blackberries, safely and responsibly, leaving plenty for the bees. Go on a guided walk round the park, pick delicious juicy berries for Company Drinks cordials (and take some home for yourselves), Shaun may even have some DIY cordial making tips for you to try and make your own. This is a great opportunity to learn about the edible, natural resources on offer in our local green spaces.

IMPORTANT We’ll pick whatever the weather, but recommend checking the forecast first! Wear suitable footwear for walking on uneven ground. All ages welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

IMPORTANT Please remember that Blackberry bushes can be really prickly, wear long sleeves/trousers. We’ll bring some gloves and cutters just in case. If the weather is nice, we suggest bringing a picnic! And a container if you want to pick any Blackberries to take home!
