Discover the magic of Badgers Wood this September at Living Mythologies, a unique community celebration blending art, nature, and local heritage.

Join Burton Conversation Volunteers, the National Forest, Urban Wilderness CIC and the team from Queens Hospital on Saturday 20 September from 12 – 3 pm for an inspiring afternoon where creativity meets conservation. This special event showcases stunning artworks and textile installations co-created with young people, transforming the woodland into an outdoor gallery that explores our deep connection with the natural world.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful woodland walk, family-friendly activities, or want to connect with local environmental groups, there’s something for everyone. Follow the decorated trail through the trees, browse information stalls from community partners, and discover how you can get involved with future projects at this beautiful National Forest site.

Located at Badgers Wood, Burton (Hospital car park D, DE13 0QL), this free event offers the perfect opportunity to explore, connect, and celebrate the living mythologies that surround us in nature.
