A Three Day Celebration of Our Local Environment

Thursday 20th to Saturday 22nd June

Various indoor and outdoor venues across Kingsbridge

Kingsbridge Nature Festival is returning for 2024! We are so excited to bring back this celebration of our local environment over the summer solstice weekend in June.

Together with a range of creatives, projects and organisations in the town and surrounding area, we are busy co-creating a programme of events and workshops starting in April that culminate in a three-day festival (June 20th - 22nd) to celebrate the natural world and our place within it.

Building on all the good things we ignited last year - we are planning even more creative, fun and inspiring opportunities to participate and take action for nature in our town. Expect guided nature walks and boat tours, great talks and film screenings, outdoor wellbeing and movement sessions, food, music, art, poetry, storytelling and lots of community connection.

Our theme this year is all about pollinators - why are they so important and what can we do to help them thrive?

Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting programme of creative workshops in the lead up to the festival - we’ve got costume making, community drumming with Drum Devon, plastic junk band making, block printing, and a samba procession to organise! It will be so much fun and we cannot wait. Details of all our community workshops coming soon and keep your eyes peeled for updates to the programme on our website

Want to get involved?

Are you a whizz with a sewing machine and fancy getting involved with some costume making? Have you ever wanted to join a samba band and would love to come along to our upcoming community drumming workshops? Could you help us engage with our local schools, or volunteer some time helping steward or run activities on the day?

We are also looking for local businesses or individuals who may be willing to make a donation to sponsor the festival. Our aim is to keep as much of the programme as we can free to attend and accessible to all, which takes a lot of funds!

Can you help?

Check out some of our photos from last year's festival - a tiny snippet of what we got up to!
