Wild Divis with Feasting on Weeds

Join Clare McQuillan, forager and curious recipe explorer from Feasting on Weeds to learn all about making the most out of our seasonal wild foods.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

Clare will lead a walk around the site to show you how to identify the autumnal edibles of Divis and then head inside to discuss further the range of what the season offers. Clare will also be serving up some snacks* and drinks inspired by the harvest of the hedgerow and woodlands of Belfast.

*Snacks provided will be suitable for vegans/vegetarians but I am afraid I cannot cater to other dietary requests.
