‘This email is all about the Festival of Nature 2026, https://www.bnhc.org.uk/festival-of-nature/, the UK’s largest free celebration of the natural world. Events are for all ages, with arts and crafts, walks, open gardens, and more. Get involved by booking today, plus there are over 90 community-led events this year, which we have been supporting.
The Festival of Nature opens at the SouthGate centre in Bath on 6 June, 10 am–4 pm, for a day of free, family-friendly nature fun, all beneath a striking woodland-themed art installation.
We hope to see you at the Wild Weekend at Millennium Square, Bristol, on 13-14 June, on our stand with wildflowers for sale. Both city centre events have loads of activities, stalls, and live performances. The theme this year is trees!
See below for a small selection of events that you might like…
Creature Seekers at St Andrews Park, Bristol. Follow the free Creature Seekers trail to explore the park and find all six Creature Seekers wooden signs. Each one features an amazing insect that you can find in Bristol.
Dame Emily Park Project Nature Activity Week. Take part in activities including gardening, litter picking, forest school fun, and Open Garden Sunday. Help care for the park, enjoy nature, meet volunteers and share refreshments.
Bath Urban Treescape – https://www.instagram.com/avonwt/reel/DYyuZvmlMC-/ Two guided walks in Bath at Moorlands Park and Keynsham, and the green spaces in between, the routes will introduce you to a wide variety of trees, while offering spectacular views across Bath.
