FAQs or Frequently Emailed Questions
What do you offer?
We have extensive knowledge and experience in delivering accessible workshops and projects with a range of participants. We can design something to meet the specific needs of your group and are happy to collaborate and work together.
Here are some ideas of workshops and activities we can lead:
- Foraging walks led at a pace suitable for your group. Depending on interests we can talk about edible wild food, inedible but historically interesting plants, access to land.
- Pickling and fermenting, working with seasonal gluts and produce we can do demos or host participatory workshops to create quick pickles, long slow fermented krauts and kimchi's, jam's, chutneys and ketchups.
- Creative thinking and writing. Leading creative writing workshops is one way we like to connect with bacterial, emotional and otherwise invisible aspects of food processes. We love to work with materials and context that is related to food, cooking and plants.
- Making/craft; from clay to textiles, dye, weaving. The collective draws upon our personal rich experiences and skills around heritage and contemporary craft. Working with natural materials, fibres, plants and dyes to consider our connection and relationship with the natural world.
Where are you based?
Social Pickle no longer has a physical, central base for its operations. But we are taking on commissions and pop-up projects across the UK and can rent kitchens or spaces depending on need.
Can I volunteer?
We highly value our volunteer community! At present it is just Pickle Fest around which we are recruiting volunteers.

Pickle Fest
Pickle Fest. Is Sheffield's DIY celebration of all things Fermentation!





PF was born of a love for fermenting, processing and sharing.
in 2023 we held our biggest event to date. Welcoming over 600 proud and potential picklers into Sadacca's wonderful cultural community space in the Wicker.
Since then we've been resting, building, waiting for the right moment to return.
Could now be it! And would you like to help?!

What we need!
Pickle Fest is run by volunteers as a DIY festival for Sheffield's wider cultural and food scene.
