Next weekend (26th -28th July 2024) will see The Game Fair return to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
Dubbed ‘Glastonbury for the green welly brigade’ it is a festival of the British countryside and has been running since 1958.
If you want to know more about wild food and increase your access to it then you need to understand the factors that affect the habitat it lives in – conservation, farming, land management, policy, economics. If you did not grow up in that ‘world’ then it can be difficult to connect with those factors – but, weirdly enough, a visit to a centralised event like The Game Fair is a great way to do it.
In this episode Richard Prideaux and Amy Green talk about the Fair itself and why they think it is a useful experience for anyone who wants to eat wild food. They also discuss some of the unfair preconceptions people might have about the attendees of events like this – as well as the completely fair accusations about the quality of fleece waistcoats worn.
The episode ends with an interview with James Gower, MD of Stable Events and Event Director of The Game Fair.

We are interested in every aspect of authentic, sustainable and ethically sourced wild food and this podcast covers it all; whether from the sea, river, land or sky.
The Wild Food People podcast is one of the ways in which we are sharing more knowledge about the intricacies of getting started or being involved in foraging, hunting and fishing from practical aspects. We’ll also be talking about relevant news articles and interesting stories related to sourcing wild food, including legal, seasonal, and unexpected natural or unnatural events.
There is no strict episode format for this show, we will discuss news articles on some episodes; and talking with guests about their field of expertise and how they see things working out for wild food into the future. We may also throw in some in-the-field recordings for good measure.
We work with nature.
We deliver expert foraging and wild food training as part of our wider work managing habitats in North Wales.
Every single one of our courses and events feeds back into improving those habitats, helping to provide healthy ecosystems for our local wildlife and communities.
