At 12.45pm, there is a Wild plants demonstration featuring beverages and seaweed-inspired snacks.

Guests can also expect to receive a foraging PDF booklet with seaweed and wild plant identifications and recipes, along with an optional craft beer sample from Reserve Edge’s home brewery. Be sure to bring along beach gear, a rain jacket, slip-slops or booties, a bucket / packet / basket, and scissors or a knife for those who wish to forage seaweed to take home. A cooler box in the car is suggested for transporting seaweed home.
