Forage and Feast in Brighton: Walk With Lunch

If you have been looking for a way to spend a Saturday morning that feels a bit different from the usual Brighton routine, there is a session happening on June 13th, 2026, that might catch your interest. It is called Forage and Feast in Brighton: Walk With Lunch, and it takes place over at Stanmer Park. The idea is fairly straightforward: you join a guided walk where an expert helps you identify wild plants, herbs, berries, and fungi found in the local hedgerows and woodlands. It is essentially a practical lesson on seasonal ecosystems and how to forage sustainably, which is a useful skill if you have ever wondered what is actually edible in the countryside around us.

After the walk, the experience wraps up with a seasonal lunch prepared using local ingredients. Based on feedback from previous participants, the meal is vegan. It is worth noting that while the event is listed as family-friendly, the terrain at Stanmer can be uneven, so it is something to keep in mind if you are planning your footwear or bringing others along. The session is part of a broader series called 'City Uncovered: Brighton' that runs from June 1st to June 14th, 2026.

The cost for the experience is £55, and bookings are handled online. If your plans change, there is a cancellation policy that allows for a full refund up to seven days before the event, though this does not apply to gift bookings. While this specific date is June 13th, the organizers, Urban Forage, do have other dates scheduled throughout the summer and autumn of 2026 if that particular Saturday does not work for your calendar. It is a low-key way to spend a few hours outdoors, learn a bit about the local landscape, and have lunch without having to do the cooking yourself.
