Looking for a weekend that stirs the soul and satisfies the stomach? Welcome to the Wye Valley—a lush, leafy paradise perfect for foodie gatherings. With local produce, wild ingredients, and a serious love of firepits, this region offers the ultimate recipe for a delicious escape.

Start by settling into one of the area’s large holiday homes, ideal for groups. Think big kitchens, garden firepits and room for both laughter and leftovers. Check out Bowley Hall for a stunning spot.

Kick things off with a trip to a local farm shop and stock up on goodies: charcuterie, artisan cheese, crusty bread, and cider.

Day two? It’s time to forage. Book a local expert to help you hunt for edible treasures—wild garlic, elderflowers, berries and more. You'll return with muddy boots, full baskets, and a new appreciation for hedgerows.

In the evening, gather your foraged finds and light the fire. Cook outdoors (or indoors if the rain joins in), sip homemade elderflower fizz, and share a meal under the stars. Bliss.

Sunday calls for a slow start, then perhaps a visit to a nearby food market or a long lunch at one of the Wye Valley’s award-winning pubs and restaurants. Think laid-back, local and packed with flavour.

This weekend is about more than meals—it’s about connection, creativity and cooking with joy. Just bring your appetite.
