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.
