About the Event
It is a common belief that you need to live deep in the countryside to enjoy foraging, but once you start to look closer at the pockets of green spaces hiding in plain sight around towns and cities, you’ll wonder why you never saw it all before!
Come along to a free foraging taster session as part of the Wellbeing Festival at Seven Oaks Park! The event is run in partnership with Cramlington Town Council, Open Minds Northumberland and Northumberland Recovery College, and will be an amazing opportunity to come along and try some of the free activities available across Northumberland to support people with mental health and well-being.
