Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th September 2010

If you’re on holiday and find yourself near to Pembrokeshire this September, there is a real festival treat for foodies and foragers. Come to the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park to celebrate food and countryside crafts originating from the wild. The Really Wild Food & Countryside Festival is the perfect excuse to get out into the countryside and better understand nature’s role in our kitchens, crafts, and medicines. See hands-on demonstrations and learn from experts about foraging for food and creating natural remedies.

The festival has been going for 5 years and Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust has attended the festival from the start, sharing a stall with Pembrokeshire Anglers Association.

The overall ethos of the Festival is to encourage people out into the countryside, make them more aware of what is around them, and to help them realise what nature can provide for use in the kitchen, for crafts, or for medicinal purposes. PRT uses the festival to explain to both visitors and locals some of the activities that PRT carries out in Pembrokeshire and also to recruit volunteers to help out with those activities. These include River Invertebrate Monitoring, habitat surveying and restoration, removal of blockages in local rivers and education programs in local schools. The River Invertebrate Monitoring display is always a great hit with both young and old, giving hands on experience of the bugs that inhabit our local rivers.

Fresh air, good food, and interesting people make this a festival worth attending. Come along, see what we do!
