Good to know
Is anything free?
Yes, 2026 Open Days and Hidden Habitats and Curious Crafts! are free to attend. Some free events still need a ticket booked in advance; each listing says so.
What if it rains?
The Stitcher, The Photographer & The Painter is indoors. Our rainy-day list has every place under a roof if the forecast turns.
How up to date is this?
The list refreshes every few minutes from the organisers' own published schedules. If an event is cancelled at short notice it may still show; the booking link on each listing goes to the organiser's live page.
