SCROLL TO BOOK
Get Pickled founder Paula gave such an inspiring talk in our Rural Voices series in November 2025, so we have invited her to come back and run a half day masterclass for those who want to get a real hands-on experience. We hope this gives more members of the community the opportunity to gain some amazing fermenting wisdom!
Discover fermentation techniques to make the best of the seasonal harvest and re-set your gut!
Join us as we delve into the world of food fermentation.
We will explore 4 different fermentation techniques:
Milk Kefir
Wild sodas
Fermented condiments
Fermented vegetables
Includes a deliciously fermented plant based lunch, incorporating all different kind of ferment ingredients.
You will understand what is happening in the jar, why fermentation is so good for your gut and your taste buds, and, of course, how to make your own ferments. We will talk about culinary used of our ferments and how to incorporate them in your everyday life.
After the workshop, you will return home with four jars of your new ferments to develop at home, with support from Paula and the Get Pickled WhatsApp group.
🌱 Bursary Places Available – Get Pickled Fermentation Masterclass
We’re delighted to be able to offer a small number of bursary places for the upcoming half-day fermentation masterclass run by Get Pickled at Horningsham Village Hall.
These bursaries are a generous gift from Get Pickled founder Paula, offered in the spirit of sharing practical knowledge, confidence and skills within her local community.
What’s available:
🥬 1 fully subsidised place
🥕 2 half-price places
The bursaries are intended to support people for whom the full ticket price might be a barrier — particularly those who are keen to take what they learn and share it onwards in their communities. There’s no means-testing, just a short reflective application.
Who should apply?
You might be:
Involved in community food projects, growing spaces, mutual aid, or informal teaching
Curious about fermentation as a tool for health, sustainability or food justice
At a stage where financial support would make attending possible
Keen to pass knowledge on — through cooking, teaching, sharing food, or conversations around the table
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
How to apply
Please email events@horningshamvillagehall.com
with short responses to the following questions:
How would you share what you learn with your community?
Why would a bursary place benefit you?
There’s no need for polished writing — honesty and intention matter more than formality.
A note on tickets
We warmly encourage those who are able to book a full-price ticket to do so. Paid places directly support the running of events like this, and help make bursaries possible for others.
This masterclass includes hands-on learning across four fermentation techniques, a fermented plant-based lunch, four jars of ferments to take home, and ongoing support via Paula’s Get Pickled WhatsApp group — it’s a rich and generously structured day.
Thank you for helping us keep learning, skills and good food circulating locally 🌾
