Up to two children 14 and under may attend most forages for free with their paying parent/guardian, with the exception of the weaving, fermenting and alcohol workshops, and other collaborative events.

I recommend that my guests wear wellies or similar footwear, as the beach and parts of the woodland can be wet and muddy. Please bring suitable clothing for being out in the elements and it is a good idea to bring a drink of water with you, to stay hydrated and to help cleanse your palate between tastings as we wander.

The routes that I take my guests on are mostly gentle and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, please email to check suitability if you have any preventative mobility issues and I'll do my best to accommodate.

All foraging experiences can be tailored to a guest's specific needs, please get in touch with any particular concerns or enquiries.

Foraging excursion locations are usually within 20 minutes drive of Chepstow, however I can offer courses throughout Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and beyond, just get in touch!

I usually limit my groups to 8-15 adults maximum, depending on the experience in question, for larger group enquiries please get in touch, or if a date that you selected is showing as unavailable as it may be fully-booked, please get in touch directly and I will do my best to accommodate you.

If a time different from advertised suits you better, just email me before you book and we can make alternative arrangements.

If weather conditions on the day do not lend themselves to foraging, we can rearrange your trip for another day at no cost to you, up to a year from the original booking purchase date. I will contact you in advance to give you the option to re-book if the weather looks unsuitable.

Bookings and gift vouchers are valid for redemption for one year after purchase.

If you are unable to attend a booked forage due to contracting Covid, I will extend the validity of your booking for up to one year as a gesture of goodwill.

Refunds will only be issued if Gourmet Gatherings is forced to cancel an event due to circumstances such as dangerous weather. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us 14 days or more, before the booked experience to be refunded or to reschedule. If the weather is prohibitive, we will contact you to rearrange. It is not possible to offer a refund for any cancelled bookings made within the appropriate time frame, for which alternative dates are available.
