From forest gatherings to coastal celebrations, these UK nature festivals put the natural world center stage, with live music, art, and community spirit as the perfect supporting acts.
Between the Trees – Winner of the UK's best micro-festival in 2025, this event takes place in Candleston Woods within the stunning Merthyr Mawr National Nature Reserve (between Cardiff and Swansea). Its mission is to reconnect attendees with nature through science activities, folk music, and storytelling. Workshops include micrographia sessions exploring the reserve's insects and nature crafts. The Seren area offers new talks and walks, such as tales of Welsh witches and forage-and-taste outings. Camping is available next to a wild beach and towering dunes, ensuring a sense of wonder.
