3–5 October 2025, Hay-on-Wye
Hay Castle will host Fungi Town, a free, family-friendly festival celebrating the weird and wonderful world of fungi. Taking place across the weekend of UK Fungus Day (3–5 October), the event promises a packed programme of talks, workshops, films, exhibitions, feasts and art, all dedicated to mushrooms, lichens, moulds and more .
This is the first event of its kind in the UK — a fungal takeover of Hay-on-Wye. As well as activities in the beautifully restored Hay Castle, shops and venues across the town will join in, creating a playful community-led celebration of nature’s most fascinating kingdom. Visitors can expect insights from experts, creativity from artists, and delicious inspiration from local producers.
