Introducing Manchester's WILDEST festival.
Follow the buzz to Manchester's iconic Heaton Park on Sunday June 30!
The Manchester Festival of Nature continues to introduce local people to the wild plants and creatures that inhabit the city and its surroundings, organised by the Manchester Nature Consortium.
The Manchester Festival of Nature 2025 will be the usual mix of family friendly arts, craft and musical activities introducing visitors to the brilliant wildlife of Manchester.
It will be the fifth live festival, with between 5,000-7,000 people turning up at Heaton Park in 2019, 2022 and 2023, and, hopefully, the sun will shine and more people will come along.
Activities will include natural dyeing, mindfulness, forest bathing, a giant Jenga, wildlife recording, wind spinners, woodland games, willow weaving, seed bombs, scavenger hunts, den building, sphagnum squeezing and some clever research games from MMU.
There will music adding to the great atmosphere. The festival will begin at noon, with the LEGENDARY POLLINATOR PARADE taking place from 1-1:30pm. It will end at 4pm.
