This course is designed to get you as involved as possible - this includes identifying, picking and tasting a range of wild species that will be found on the day. There will also be samples of wild food for everyone to get stuck into! The focus with all of our workshops is on the 4 'F's of Foraging: Fungi, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage . We aim for an array of these elements on every session we run (weather and season permitting!) Event sold out or can't make this date? Head to www.foragebox.co.uk/workshops or view our Eventbrite profile to browse all available sessions. What To Expect Our 'Taster' events are our shortest workshops, open to anyone looking for a brief but informative introduction to the wonderful world of foraging. No formal food is provided, but there will still be plenty of tasting along the way. DURATION: 2 hours We like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop: a short introduction regarding the safety and format of the day discussions around foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law a circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths a closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager a chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours small tasters of wild food - this may even include freshly-picked items straight from the wild. our workshops are run in a welcoming and informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are encouraged after the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day. Please do not expect photos or descriptions in this email - it is purely a list for reference purposes, and we find it helps people do further research in their own time. Please note: as with most of our events, this is an educational experience and not a 'basket-filling' session . At the end of the session, there may be a small selection of our wild products and workshop vouchers available to purchase (card and cash accepted). This is a recent element of our events after enough attendees made enquiries about it - there is no pressure to buy anything having already bought tickets but sometimes people want a souvenir to take with them! Please speak to your tutor about this at the end. Who Is This Workshop For? These events are perfect for everyone - families, bushcrafters and dog-walkers alike! Nobody is made to feel out of their depth or silly for not knowing what certain things are, so these events suit absolute novices to more experienced hobby foragers alike. We strongly believe that foraging is for everyone , with all demographics welcome, regardless of age, ability, gender or ethnicity. Please read our FAQs further down the page to find out about dogs, children and mobility.

Description - In this fun social deduction game you will be randomly dealt a character. If you’re in the good team it is your job to discover allies, root out evil and execute the Demon! However, if you are evil you must deceive and confuse the good with your known evil team to ensure that your Demon survives until the end. Venue - We will be playing upstairs in the library space, which is very spacious and has table service, unfortunately there isn't any disabled access. There is a lovely range of food and drinks on offer, which you’re welcome to have during play. Gameplay - Sean & Ian will alternate storytelling Trouble Brewing. We will play as many games as possible in the session, this will likely range from 2-5 games depending on how the games go and how many players we have. Parking - There are plenty of car parks in the surrounding area. I'd recommend St Martin's Gate Car Park (WR1 2BS) then walk over the bridge on level 2, to New Street. It has RingGo (7793) and closes at midnight. Sean will be parking there and is happy to walk back with anyone after the event, if they wish. Beginner Players - If you have little to no experience or just want to go through the rules again then please come 15 minutes before the event start time . Ian or Sean will do a full rules teach with Q&A time and then you should have the full session to play. I would also recommend watching some YouTube videos on how to play too. AOB - You don't need to bring anything however cosplay is encouraged. There will be pictures and videos taken, if you do not wish to be in these then let the storyteller know. If you arrive late or need to leave early you will be made into a traveller, which gets to play but won’t be as capable as the main characters. Information Source: Open Tournaments | eventbrite

Star Trek Adventures one-shot : "Human Wrongs" You awake, noticing immediately the absence of a certain sound: the whispering thrum of the warp core reverberating through the ship is gone. And so is your mattress. You jolt upright to find yourself sat on the flat, stone floor of a cavernous chamber. As you look around, you see other Starfleet personnel, waking up or clambering to their feet. Their uniforms are multifarious, each distinguished by the presence or absence of certain tweaks, flourishes and colour fields. Some uniforms are familiar, others are quite unknown to you, and some look outmoded or outright historical. You might even spot a few famous faces among this patchwork crew... But what is this place? The other crew members all seem to be asking the same question as they introduce themselves in muted tones, recalling their own names and ranks, but no one knows how they arrived here. Then a series of green flashes emanate from tunnels into the chamber, followed momentarily by the harsh buzz- whoosh of disruptor fire bouncing through the caves. Reacting, the Starfleet crew members all snap to alert and some reach for handheld phasers at their hips... only to find they are quite unarmed! Get ready for an adventure that in the best tradition of Trek is part-action, part-mystery puzzle, part-ethical dilemma, and in this particular case: part-Star Trek renaissance fair. Use diplomacy skills, use makeshift handheld phasers, use the tenets of humanistic moral philosophy, use science as a verb, as you step into the shoes of one of Star Fleet's finest, and solve, orate, or phaser-blast your way to a shocking finale. No previous experience with the RPG Star Trek Adventures is required. We'll keep it rules-lite and story-focused. You do not need to have a Vulcan Science Academy-level knowledge of the Star Trek universe to play the game, nor this scenario. However, familiarity with at least one of the TV shows would be good (i.e. TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, DSC, PIC, LDS, PRO, SNW). We will try to avoid any major spoilers for any of the streaming-era TV shows (i.e. DSC onwards). Information Source: Dice Box Worcester | eventbrite

Doors 7pm / Support 7:30pm / Martin Stephenson 8:15pm Licensed bar available Martin Stephenson began his career as a busker aged 15. He then spent three years plying his trade as the guitar player in various bands in the North East of England . But Martin wanted more, he wanted to tell stories of his own and he was quickly developing ways of doing just that. He developed his song-writing technique by firstly learning a few licks from a Spanish guitar book and repeated the process with Jazz, Blues, Country, SkifFle, Reggae etc. Eventually, this glorious collision of styles would become the trademark which Martin has carried through his career of almost 40 years. Martin formed his band The Daintees , who became busking sensations and were signed by Kitchenware at around the same time as Prefab Sprout and Hurrah! The band, and indeed Martin, have always been known for their incredible range of styles, each album covering a multitude of genres, tempos and moods. The Daintees went on to release four critically acclaimed albums between 1986 & 1992; Boat To Bolivia, Gladsome Humour and Blue, Salutation Road , and The Boys Hear t. https://daintees.co.uk Martin has since supported himself through a combination of extensive live work and a multitude of self financed solo albums. 2000 saw the reformation of the Daintees , and to this day Martin splits his time between solo and small collaborative projects with band albums and annual celebratory Daintees UK tours. “… they [ The Daintees ] exude so much warmth and charm that you walk away wishing good to all mankind and wanting to hug everyone you encounter.” – Rockshot Magazine Support from The Humdrum Express The Humdrum Express... https://www.thehumdrumexpress.com Championed by BBC 6 Music and 'famed' for withering critique, The Humdrum Express (singer/songwriter Ian Passey) breezily delivers offbeat observation, social commentary and sharp wit; fused with familiar cultural references, surreal characters and subtle puns. Solo Humdrum gigs mix fast-paced, wordy acoustic folk with acerbic poems and irreverent chat.

Description - In this fun social deduction game you will be randomly dealt a character. If you’re in the good team it is your job to discover allies, root out evil and execute the Demon! However, if you are evil you must deceive and confuse the good with your known evil team to ensure that your Demon survives until the end. Parking - There are plenty of car parks in the surrounding area. I'd recommend St Martin's Gate Car Park (WR1 2BS) then walk over the bridge on level 2, to New Street. It has RingGo (7793) and closes at midnight. Sean will be parking there and is happy to walk back with anyone after the event, if you wish. Venue - We will be playing upstairs in the library space, which is very spacious and has table service, unfortunately there isn't any disabled access. There is a lovely range of food and drinks on offer, which you’re welcome to have during play. Storytellers – Sean & Ian Beginner Players (Trouble Brewing Only!) - If you have little experience or just want to go through the rules again then please come 15 minutes before the event start time . The storytellers will do a full rules teach with Q&A time and then you should have the full session to play. I would also recommend watching some YouTube videos on how to play too. Advanced Players (Sects & Violets) - If you have played no fewer than 10 games of Trouble Brewing you might want to try Sects & Violets, which is the more advanced version of Blood on the Clocktower, with new characters and new maddening mechanics. Gameplay - At this event there are 2 sessions both lasting 3 hours each, the storytellers will alternate storytelling Trouble Brewing in the Trouble Brewing session and Sects & Violets in the Sects & Violets session. We will play as many games as possible in each session, this will likely range from 2-5 games depending on how the games go and how many players we have. AOB - You don't need to bring anything however cosplay is encouraged. There will be pictures and videos taken, if you do not wish to be in these then let the storyteller know. If you arrive late or need to leave early you will be made into a traveller, which gets to play but won’t be as capable as the main characters. Information Source: Open Tournaments | eventbrite
