This year the festival theme is Cultural Reforesting and responds to the question – how can we renew our relationship with nature? Come and learn new skills and enjoy time in nature at our beautiful wetland centre. Explore our Herb Garden and learn different uses and preservation techniques including drying and salting. Take home your own herb vinegar.

Faye Webster isn’t afraid to tell you how she feels. Rooted in a familial lineage of folk, 21-year-old songwriter Webster’s forthright, exposed lyricism pays homage to the great Americana traditions of songwriting while drawing from Webster’s own experiences immersed in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene. Her carefully-cultivated sound organically mingles that inherited country and folk with her time immersed in rap collective Awful Records, injecting the traditional with a clandestine jolt. A decorated photographer as well as a musician, Webster’s artistic mediums don’t intertwine, instead running parallel to one another. The through-line is her exceptional knack for direction, an assured confidence in her own point of view.

Indie folk incarnation of LA-based musician Ben Schneider, paying tribute to his Michigan roots with the Lord Huron moniker.

Join us for a hands-on photography workshop at the London Wetland Centre this July! You’ll capture the vibrant summer wildlife and lush landscapes, while learning essential photography techniques. During the workshop, nature and wildlife photographer, Jasmine, will guide you in refining your understanding of light, composition, and camera settings in a way that’s both engaging and easy to grasp, so that you can take more considered and visually striking photographs. Whether you're just starting out or looking to hone your skills, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive environment to practice and improve your nature photography. Biography First honing her creativity through a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design, specialising in photography, Jasmine then went on to complete a BA (Hons) Photography degree. With a rich background in photography spanning over ten years, she takes great pleasure in sharing her images and experiences through workshops and public speaking, and is very proud to have had images published online, in print, and awarded in photographic competitions.
