A celebration of our peatland connections

Love your peatlands, feel their strength, experience their heritage and find out more by joining in with Peat-Fest South-West.

From Somerset and Dorset, Dartmoor and Exmoor down to Cornwall, everyone is invited to experience the power of peatlands and celebrate why they are so special.

Peat-Fest South-West is a region-wide celebration raising awareness of peatland heritage through youth-focused events, intergenerational skills exchange, creative activities, and digital storytelling.

Through the summer and autumn of 2025, we will create curiosity-generating, hands-on, fun-filled Bogtastic events, enjoying our boggy peatlands as special nature-rich places, necessary for all of life facing climate change and ecological decline.

Partnering up with RE-PEAT and collaborating with a diversity of peatland partnerships, youth based and cultural organisations, their volunteers, and young people; we will co-create loads of activities and events for everyone to enjoy.

Together, we will regenerate relationships between younger people and their older peers in the future care for peatlands.
