Question 3

Can children join and how much will it cost?

Accepted Answer

Children are welcome and its generally half price up to 16 years old. 
We don’t recommend bringing children under 7 for the mushroom foraging as fungi come with many dangers. If it’s the case that you have to bring your children under 7 they must be accompanied by two adults for health and safety reasons. This doesn’t apply to babies in slings or buggies. Children are welcome on all other tours (bar fungi as above criteria) with one adult per three children. I love foraging with children and take many children’s groups out, a mother of three nature loving kids, I rather put safety first.
We also hold family foraging events where parents & kids welcome.
