New this year
The Stroud Walking Festival
This year we are pleased to announce that the Stroud Walking Festival will be launched at the Festival of Nature. The two should dovetail nicely together as a celebration of the wildlife and glorious countryside around us.

Green Zone
We also have the Green Zone again this year. Exhibitors here are concerned with the promotion and supply of sustainable energy.

The Nature Art Zone
We have also asked the Museum in the Park to organise an Art based element to the Festival, involving local artists and art groups.

Nearly 2500 people visited the Festival last year despite a grey, damp morning. Marquees and various stalls snaked their way around the lawns and between the trees of Stratford Park offering all manner of interest and activities for the public.

The full range of activities at this year’s Festival will develop over the next few months and we will keep everyone informed.
