STIR-fried foraged greens will be on the menu during a fun-filled week at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre this May half term.

The Craven Arms centre’s half-term family activity, Backyard Survival, is on daily from May 29 until June 2 from 1pm to 2.30pm and is £4.50 per accompanied five to 11-year-old.

Children can find out about surviving out of doors by filtering water, picking 'spring greens' to taste as a stir fry, making a ‘one-minute’ fire and building a den. Booking is essential.

Education officer Stephanie Bellows said: “I am looking forward to foraging with families and then getting to the forest school area where they can experiment with cleaning water, trying fire steels and tasting the stir-fried plants we have foraged.”
