Fungi Festival guided walks

All varieties of fun-gi’s are invited to join us at our inaugural Fungi Fest event to celebrate all things fungi. Fungi are essential to life and an inspiration for creativity. Fungi Fest will shine a light on a usually overshadowed area of natural history and will spore a love and appreciation for the mycelium network.

Join one of these guided walks to find out more and take a closer look at the amazing world of fungi!

Please note these are not foraging walks.

Children must always be accompanied by an adult.

What to bring/wear

We'd recommend sturdy and waterproof footwear or wellies, and lots of layers! It could still be midge and mosquito season so we highly recommend wearing insect repellent.
