Festival of Nature returns in June with nine days of free events
The Festival of Nature has just released this summer’s programme and this year, it’s all about water. And, to really make a splash, the centrepiece of the packed nine-day festival will be a living, breathing pop-up wetland brought to life, right in the centre of Bristol.

The UK’s biggest free nature festival returns from 7–15 June across Bristol, Bath and nearby communities, finishing with a huge weekend in Millennium Square, featuring live music, parades, stalls, workshops and screening – and a real wetland to explore.

The 2025 programme is overflowing with events for all ages, including lunchtime wildlife drawing and photography workshops by the harbour, breathtaking screenings at the aquarium’s Megascreen, outdoor exhibitions, music and live projections from composer and Shazam developer Charlie Hooper-Williams, fishing taster sessions, an animal-themed toddler rave with Poco Drom, and a nature-themed club night called Listen to Your Mother at Old Market Assembly. There are also online talks and writing workshops available.
