Often overlooked as little more than beach debris, seaweed is one of the most versatile, nutritious, and sustainable wild foods found around the British coastline. Rich in minerals, flavour, and culinary potential, seaweeds have been harvested for centuries for food, medicine, agriculture, and even industry.

Join us for a relaxed and inspiring 1.5-hour session where we'll explore this remarkable marine ingredient through a series of demonstrations, tastings, and lively discussion.

What to Expect:

Ingredient focus – Discover the different edible seaweeds found around our coast and their nutritional, culinary, and traditional uses.

Live demonstrations – Watch as we transform seaweed into simple, delicious dishes that are easy to recreate at home.

Tastings – Sample a range of creative seaweed-based recipes and explore the unique flavours of the shore.

Discussion – Learn how to identify, harvest, prepare, and store seaweed safely and sustainably.

Atmosphere – Enjoy a glass of wild tea or Local award winning Huxbear wine in a welcoming, informal setting.

Whether you're a curious cook, coastal explorer, wild food enthusiast, or simply intrigued by the possibilities of seaweed, this event will leave you inspired by the incredible flavours and potential hidden along our shoreline.
