Dunwich is rich in wildlife for you to discover. We shall run two day 'bioblitz' safaris this summer led by expert naturalists to introduce you to discovering, identifying and recording plants of varied habitats (shingle, marsh, woodland and heath) and their invertebrate inhabitants such as moths and beetles. You will be getting to know nature in depth! These days are free of charge, but bookings will allow us to know numbers ahead of time so that we can provide appropriate equipment.

We have limited space, but would love to be able to share your work and will add your name to our list for upcoming shows even if you cannot display in this one.
An afternoon of music and poetry in the Reading Room Garden, ft the Dunwich Drifters.
We walked through Greyfriars Woods to learn about the variety of plants and wildlife to be found in Dunwich in autumn. We collected leaves, seeds, feathers and chestnuts to make wreaths and other crafts. We also spotted a variety of fungi growing. Thinking about harvest time, we were shown some antique farming tools such as scythes, sickles, pitch forks and seed drills, and had a go at using them ourselves!
