Festival of Nature: 6 - 14 June

This free nine-day celebration of the natural world is back, and bigger than ever with more than 160 events happening across, Bristol, Bath and online. From the hidden life of trees to the wonders of nature at night, try out new ways to experience nature, learn new skills and take action.

For Bristol, the big moment is always ‘Wild Weekend’, when stalls, live music, workshops, parades and thousands of people take over Millennium Square. This time, there’s lots for younger children, with guest appearances from CBeebies’ presenters Andy Day with his famed dinosaur raps and Aaron Roach Bridgeman from I Can Grow It answering children’s big gardening questions. Weekday highlights in the city include woodland trails, insect identification, night time nature discoveries and a Queer eco-poetry workshop.
