Join Festival of Nature for our 15th birthday as we set sail down the river for another huge celebration of the natural world!

Bath Festival of Nature is a free, wild day out for the whole family, featuring the region’s best-loved wildlife organisations and a chance to explore nature in a heritage park with a stunning riverside location. Create, explore and run wild in the heart of the city with performances, talks, walks and a showcase of hands-on fun from local and national environmental organisations. Find out more about the exhibitors and who’s who at Festival of Nature here.

Highlights include:

• Pilot a remotely-operated robot with University of Bath, or have a go using miscroscopes to discover the menagerie of mini-beasts that live in a drop of water!
• Be dazzled by a sea of colour and top up your own plant collection with a visit to the Royal Victoria Park Nursery exhibit
• Become a wildlife explorer for the day with mini-BioBlitzes of Green Park and exciting wildlife treasure hunts
• Get your binoculars at the ready for Hawk & Owl Trust’s ‘Peregrine look-out’ at their outpost on the canal path opposite St John’s Church
• And not to mention the delicious local food from Be Natural, face painting for kids (and adults of course!), and a jam-packed schedule of incredible music from local artists – and much more!
• Follow on from this fun-filled day by visiting the Festival of Nature Pop-up Wildlife Party in Green Park Station 6-9pm – expect a raucous wildlife-filled evening full of surprises!
