About the event

Join Northumberland Wildlife Trust and Pride Action North for this inclusive and family friendly event.

Come and get a whole new perspective on the natural world around us! From fungi and forests, to woodlice and wild oysters, the natural world is full of beauty and diversity.

Stalls - Enjoy a selection of stalls and activities from local groups and organisations such as Pride Action North, TopSoil, Koast Radio, and North East Museums!

Mindfulness Activities - From forest bathing to soundmapping, the natural world can help us calm our minds and connect with ourselves and the world around us. Join us for a selection of activities for our wellbeing.

BioBlitz with NHSN - Get up close and personal with the minibeasts in the forest! Learn more about these surprpising and unique wiggly creatures.

iNaturalist - We'll teach you how to use Seek by iNaturalist, an app to help you identify plants and animals, so you can become an expert nature detective! We recommend downloading the Seek by iNaturalist app before you come along.
