About the event

A day to explore and learn all about peat and peatland restoration. 

Curious about the wonders of bogs and why peatlands matter to people and the planet? Come find out and celebrate International Bog Day at Moss Peteral Farm (CA8 7HY) on the 19th of July!

Join us from 10:00 to 15:30 for a fun-filled day of peatland-themed films, creative and educational workshops and local food – all set within a living peatland in Northumberland’s uplands.

Hosted by the Northumberland Peat Partnership and Wilder Northumberland, this event brings together artists, landowners, ecologists and peatland specialists to explore the connections between people and peat.

We’ll begin with a screening of short films by Rose Ferraby, followed by a choice of workshops: from bog folklore, poetry and craft-making, a guided farm walk or hands-on sessions about peatland monitoring and restoration.

You’ll also enjoy a locally sourced lunch, meet the people behind Northumberland's peatland restoration efforts, gather for an unveiling of a new sculpture created as part of an exciting monitoring project.

Limited number of lifts will be available from and to Haltwhistle Train Station - please email us at wildernorthumberland@northwt.org.uk if you would like a lift.
