Event Details

Have you ever tried truffles and thought, I wonder where truffles come from? Most are imported, but we’re going to show you how to find the UK’s very special truffles.

Join Totally Wild UK for an exciting truffle foraging experience in Sussex, led by a Totally Wild Professional and a Truffle Foraging specialist (and their lovely dogs). Discover the secret world of the UK’s special truffles, often only found on Michelin menus, and learn how to find and harvest these elusive mushrooms yourself.

After the hunt, enjoy a delicious truffle-inspired meal that will leave you inspired to explore more of nature’s hidden treasures.

What to Expect on the Truffle Forage and Cookery Course in Sussex

This 5-6 hour course will give you the chance to learn about truffle foraging while exploring the beautiful surroundings of our secret location. You’ll be guided by an experienced truffle hunter who will show you how to find and collect truffles in their natural habitat, with the help of trained truffle dogs. Alongside truffles, you’ll have the opportunity to gather other wild ingredients that are in season.

After your foraging walk, you’ll take part in a cooking session where you’ll prepare a truffle-inspired meal using the ingredients you’ve collected. Past dishes have included wild mushroom risotto, truffle-infused pasta, and elderberry panna cotta. Throughout the day, you’ll sample a variety of wild food tasters, such as chutneys, jams, pickles, and syrups. After the event, you’ll receive an email with details about the truffles and other ingredients you found, along with tips on how to use them and recipes from the meal.

IMPORTANT: Truffle Foraging Notes

To ensure the success and exclusivity of this experience, please note the following guidelines:

  • No Personal Dogs: As much as we love our furry friends, please leave your dogs at home to avoid distracting the truffle dogs.
  • Photography Restrictions: We ask that you refrain from taking photos of the truffle dogs and the location itself to maintain the secrecy of our foraging site. Don’t worry, we’ll capture some beautiful shots of the truffles you find for you to keep.
  • Teaching Location Agreement: By attending, you agree not to forage for truffles at this location in the future. This site is reserved for educational purposes only.

WHAT TO BRING

  • Suitable clothing for the predicted weather, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles.
  • Sturdy footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration.

  • Snacks for the foraging walk, as lunch will be served around 2/3pm.
  • A pad or paper if you wish to take notes.
  • A blanket or chair for the communal meal, as seating options may vary depending on the venue.
