We have organised a festival of events with partners with partners every year at the time when the Magnesian Grassland species are in flower, normally the middle two weeks of June. We are enabling residents, workers and visitors to understand and celebrate the unique landscape of the area.

This Project is Completed.

Over the last four years we have had a programme of events and activities showcasing the geology, ecology and heritage of the area. Last year’s Festival had a main event in June at Herrington Park. In addition to this we organised an average of 33 other walks, talks and events running from June to early August.
