Field to Fork: The Venison Experience

30th January | 1pm–4pm | St Osyth Priory

Discover the journey from field to fork with a unique three-hour experience at St Osyth Priory, exploring the fascinating world of deer management, wildlife conservation and venison.

Your experience begins in our beautiful Walled Garden, where you will be welcomed with a hot drink before climbing aboard our tractor and trailer for a journey into the Priory's iconic Deer Park. Here, you'll get up close to our famous herd and discover more about the animals, their behaviour and the important role of responsible deer management.

Following your time in the Deer Park, we'll explore the wider estate, learning about the wild deer that roam our grounds, their impact on the landscape and why carefully monitoring deer populations is so important, both here at the Priory and across the UK.

Returning to the Walled Garden, the experience concludes with an insightful venison butchery demonstration. Discover the different cuts of meat, how to recognise quality and healthy venison, the butchery process and how its cost compares with other meats.

Of course, no Field to Fork experience would be complete without a taste. You'll have the opportunity to sample venison for yourself and discover the flavour and quality of this wonderful meat.

An afternoon of discovery, conservation and countryside traditions, offering a fascinating insight into the journey from field to fork.
