Go Mad for Mushrooms and get Fascinated by Fungi!

Join us on Sunday 26th October for the first ever Birmingham Fungi Festival - a day of fungi walks, talks and crafts!

Taking place from 11.00am - 15.00pm at Eastside City Park, Birmingham city centre, there will be much for everyone to enjoy throughout the day! At the Wildlife Trust gazebos you'll find fascinating fungi activities, a children's play space created by We Forest Folk, mushroom print-making with local artist, Laura Onions, mushroom origami and family-friendly fungi walks (taking place at 11.30am, 12.30pm and 13.30pm) led by our expert team.

As well as those activities for all, we will also have the special limited-number events including a fungi foray and talk from Lukas Large of the West Midlands Fungus Group, fungi felt-making workshops and fungi-focused poetry workshops.

Find details of all the events below and we look forward to seeing you there! This event is free to attend and takes place as part of our Championing Nature programme of events.
