CREATING & PROMOTING A VIBRANT PLACE
Date
7-15 June 2025

Festival of Nature returns to Bristol from 7-15 June 2025 for another week of in-person and online events for all ages, with film screenings, guest appearances, arts and crafts, experiments, screenings, walks, talks, tours, exhibitions, music, and so much more.

Organised by The Natural History Consortium and once more sponsored by Bristol City Centre and Redcliffe & Temple BIDs in 2025, the festival is in its 22nd year. It has grown from a single sight event in Bristol to a major cultural moment across the West of England, attracting over 30,000 visitors each year and inspiring similar events around the country.

This year’s celebration will feature more than 80 online and in-person events, most of which are free. The theme for 2025 is ‘water’ and the festival will feature the UK’s first ever pop-up wetland in Millennium Square with WWT, the charity for wetlands and wildlife, bringing one of the planet’s most important ecosystems to the heart of the city.
