Seaweed Forage – Wednesday 30 April 2025 (East Lothian)

An ‘edible seashore’ foray to discover how to identify, harvest and prepare nutritious edible seaweeds. There is a wonderful feast of seaweeds off our shores and this part of Earrach after the Spring Equinox is ‘seaweed spring’ when they are at their tastiest and most succulent.

“I came away in awe of how many ways in which seaweed can be used, stored and preserved and how important it was for health. I would highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in wild food. Still feeling inspired 2 weeks after :)” ~ Seaweed Forage Participant, 2023

Date: Wednesday 30 April 2025. 

Time: 08:30am for a 09:00am start, finishing around 1:30pm. This is a really early start I know, but the low tides are early this month and we want to make the most of the new growth seaweed at low tide.

Venue: East Lothian coast. Directions will be sent after booking. Please note the location is not easily accessible by public transport this early in the day, so please advise well in advance if you need help with a car share.

Maximum group size is 12. Wear warm clothes, it will be cold. Importantly wear suitable waterproof, non-slip footwear (e.g. wellies), you will be on slippery rocks and in rock pools at times and will get wet feet. Please bring a snack with a hot drink too.
Please note: This course is not suitable for dogs to accompany their owners.

If the walk has to be cancelled due to bad weather, you will be able to transfer this ticket to a future walk or get a refund. Please read the small print!
