Forage and Feast with Paul Cunningham in the Walled Garden

---

Join us for an unforgettable evening at ‘Forage and Feast with Paul Cunningham in the Walled Garden, Helen’s Bay’. This is a unique dining experience rooted in the land and inspired by nature’s wild pantry. This experience is run as part of the Experience Ards and North Down 2025 programme.

Hosted in the Walled Garden, this exclusive event brings together the best of seasonal, locally sourced, and foraged ingredients in a truly immersive celebration of County Down’s culinary heritage. At its heart is Paul Cunningham, acclaimed chef, expert forager, and Northern Ireland’s representative on Great British Menu 2021, whose passion for zero-waste cooking and wild food shines through every course.

Your evening begins in the magical setting of the Glasshouse with a botanical infused cocktail , before sitting down to a thoughtfully curated multi-course feast. Each dish is paired with wines that enhance the natural flavours and tell a story of place and provenance.

Our intimate Forage and Feast event offers exclusive access to the Walled Garden and an invitation to slow down, savour, and reconnect. From foraged delicacies to sustainably grown produce, every element of the menu reflects a deep respect for the land and a commitment to conscious dining.

Whether you’re a food lover, a nature enthusiast, or simply curious to explore sustainable cuisine, this is an evening of discovery, indulgence, and inspiration you won’t want to miss.
