Uncover Brighton’s Coast Through Foraging

If you have spent any time walking along the Brighton coastline, you have probably noticed the distinct landscape that shifts between the pebbles and the sea. On Sunday, 7 June 2026, there is an opportunity to look at that same stretch of coast a bit differently. As part of the City Uncovered: Brighton series, which runs from 1 to 14 June, a guided foraging walk is taking place at Brighton Marina. It is a two-hour session, running from 10:00 to 12:00, designed for anyone interested in learning about the edible plants and sea herbs that grow right on our doorstep.

The walk is led by an expert in foraging who focuses on identifying wild ingredients, including various types of seaweed and coastal herbs. Beyond just pointing out what is edible, the session covers the practical side of things, such as how to approach harvesting in a sustainable way. It also touches on the history of local food traditions in Sussex, providing a bit of context to the landscape we often walk past without much thought. The idea is to step away from the busier parts of the seafront and spend the morning focusing on the natural environment instead.

For those planning to attend, the meeting point is at Brighton Marina, specifically at the postcode BN2 5WA. The standard ticket price for the experience is £40.00. It is a straightforward setup: a small group, a guide, and a couple of hours spent walking and learning about the local flora. Whether you are interested in gastronomy, enjoy hiking, or simply want to spend a morning outdoors with a specific focus, this session offers a structured way to explore the coastline.
