Celebrating the brilliance of bogs

Bog Day is celebrated around the world every year on the fourth Sunday in July. This year we'll be celebrating the brilliance of bogs on Sunday 26 July 2026.

This annual event, in celebration of bogs, fens, swamps and marshes, is an opportunity to raise awareness of all peatlands – the benefits they provide, the threats they face and the ways we can all help protect them.

Art and Energy encourage you to:

Learn more about how to get involved with our new project Our Land Flows…from Peat to Pipe and explore more about water from the peatlands of the high moors and how it becomes piped tap water to our homes. 

Watch our Peat-Fest South-West final Manifesto film and share our memories from around the South-West of sharing heritage-rich moments through youth-focused events, intergenerational skills exchange, creative activities, and digital storytelling.

Listen to our series of seven Peat-Fest South-West Bogcasts (podcasts) capturing voices of all ages as they share their love of peatlands and encourage you to love them too.

Join us on Saturday 20 June 2026 for the Big Green Trail with fun, free and inclusive activities taking place at Central Park, Plymouth!

With over 30 organisations and community groups involved there is something for everyone and plenty of opportunities for you to explore the fantastic projects we have in Plymouth.

Go foraging in the park, get up close with marine life, make your own scrap sculptures, collect all the trail stamps, join a bike ride or try your hand at an inflatable obstacle course! You can even travel to The Big Green Trail for free by catching the Trail bus operating across the city.

For more information about what’s on at the Big Green Trail visit:

Join us for a practical habitat restoration session in the beautiful setting of Greenlands Mire, where the Dorset Peat Partnership carried out wetland restoration works last winter to help restore this important peatland habitat.

This hands-on session includes two main tasks:

• Reshaping earth contour bunds using hand tools to improve their profiles

• Installing dams made from baled heather to strengthen areas damaged by winter storms

With guidance from National Trust Wetland Officer Gen Crisford, we’ll work together as a coordinated team to make the day both productive and rewarding.

The mire is a gorgeous wetland habitat where you may spot sphagnum mosses, dragonflies & emerging spring flora. And we'll also help keep your energy levels up with plenty of snacks 😋

Highlights

• Practical action to help restore Greenlands Mire

• Guided by National Trust Wetland Officer Gen Crisford

• Real conservation work with visible local impact

• A chance to explore a beautiful wetland habitat

• Mud, teamwork & fresh air included!

Why come?

Because you’ll:

• Spend a rewarding day outdoors

• Play a direct part in local nature recovery

• Learn more about peatlands and why they matter

Why it matters

Better bunds can help slow water movement, support mosses, encourage peat-forming conditions, store more carbon and create pools for wildlife 🩵

Important info

Bring your own water bottle / flask to stay hydrated

Bring a packed lunch & we'll provide plenty of other snacks as well

Tools will be supplied by the National Trust Purbeck team

Please wear old, suitable clothing as you will definitely get muddy

Wellies are strongly recommended because you'll be in a bog!

There is a short walk of around a mile from the parking area to the site

The work area is off-road, with uneven ground & standing water

Participants will need to be physically able to use a shovel or similar hand tools

There are no facilities on site = not a caramel lattes in sight!

The nearest toilets are at Knoll Beach or Shell Bay

Who can attend?

This event is mainly recommended for adults, given the nature of the site and tasks. Families are very welcome, but children must be supervised at all times - we have positive work to do people! 💪⛏

Power Station (12A)

The screening on Wednesday 26th November (fuel poverty awareness day) will be presented in collaboration with Plymouth Energy Community.

A panel discussion and Q&A will follow the film including Art and Energy’s Chloe Uden.

On Wednesday 26th November, the Sunlight Gathering artwork will be displayed in the reception area.
Sunlight Gathering invites people to sit, connect, and celebrate creativity and the magic of solar energy. This unique collaborative artwork uses interactive pads in the floor and seat to trigger lights and is charged through a unique etched recycled solar panel. Hand-crafted, embossed decorations were co-created with members of the local community and Plymouth Energy Community. Created by The Art and Energy Collective, with the aim to spark all sorts of conversations about the importance of solar power.

Plymouth Energy Community provide impartial energy & retrofit advice to households across the city. Their community solar farm in Ernesettle donates its profits to help tackle fuel poverty in Plymouth. They also manage a network of 30 community-owned rooftop solar sites, ensuring schools and community buildings have access to cheap low carbon energy.

PEC’s ambition in the next year is to increase the amount of solar in the city to create more local clean energy, protect nature, and reinvesting profits right here in Plymouth.

About the film: Power Station (12A)

Dir. Hilary Powell, Dan Edelstyn, UK, 2025, 90 mins.

Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse - a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives. Directed by the duo, Power Station charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and sleeping on the roof of their home, to raising finance and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. By turns funny and heartwarming, the film is a vibrant portrait of their local neighbourhood, and a charming testament to the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible.

This free drop-in workshop is open to all children and families (and visitors of all ages!)

Wednesday 29th October 2025

Drop in any time 11am - 2pm, no need to book to join us.

The Mossy Carpet is an artwork inspired by moss and made by many people.

Thousands of individually made pom-poms and textile tufts adorn fleecy felt from Dartmoor, creating a beautiful mossy carpet. Each pompom represents someone’s small attempt to make the world better for all of life.

We hope this artwork will be inspiring, comforting, hopeful, fabulous and friendly, showing that together, we can make something magnificent. Make your own textile tufts and pompoms to join in!

Creative activities help us to slow down, have better conversations, imagine new things, have fun and feel more connected.

This is your last chance to join us in making The Mossy Carpet! We will be displaying the final completed artwork at The Market Hall in Plymouth from the 17-23 November during COP30 - The UN Conference on Climate Change, to show just how many people there are who want to be part of making the world a better place for all of life.

Visit The Beehive’s website for further information about parking, accessibility and refreshments.
