Part of their Green Sundays series, the feast is for your senses as well as your belly. The three course meal will be punctuated with interactive games, music and knowledge with excellent after dinner speakers in the form of Tristram Stuart and Richard Reynolds. And you are reminded to bring an "unusual container" in which to transport home a growing souvenir of the event.
Of course, health and safety has to go a little mad on these occasions so please note the following message from Arcola:
