Spend the day in the woods with us learning about local deer species and why we have to manage them for the health of our Forests. Deer are introduced species, have no predators and are decimating our native woodlands.
Watch the team skin and butcher a muntjac deer and enjoy elevenses of pan fried venison loin before having a go yourself! Butcher a carcass between two people and you have the opportunity to take home all the meat you butcher - so that's half a locally sourced deer for your freezer - imagine your boast on Christmas Day as you carve the venison joint you butchered yourself!
Learn about the best ways to cook your cuts of meat and finish up with a tasty Venison Stew around the campfire. Venison is a healthy meat and these animals have been culled locally as part of a management program to promote healthier woodlands. Wild venison is one of the most sustainable meats you can eat.
A full on day of learning and feasting! A real forest to fork experience not to be missed.
All dietary requirements catered for.
We will be in the woods all day, so please dress for the weather. Light rain and we'll go ahead - if it is high winds (over 30mph) or thunder / lightening we will have to reschedule.
Please bring a cool box or cool bag if you want to take any butchered meat home with you and come hungry! We'll be feasting on venison all day!
All dietary requirements are catered for - please let us know in advance and we'll be in touch the week before with further details about the event.
Dogs are not allowed and participants must be over 18.
No experience required.
Refreshments and lunch provided.
