Rewilding Denmarkfield Open Day 2025!

Come and join us at Rewilding Denmarkfield for our Open Day 2025! It promises to be a super exciting day filled with nature, community, and fun! From kids outdoor games (grass skiis anyone?!) to professional storytelling and a rewilding site tour...there will be so many things to look at, learn about, and get stuck into. It will run from 11am-3pm and you can stay for as little as long as you like, but there will be certain things at certain times, so please take a note of the event schedule below. If you would like to hear more about the background of the project and the Species Rich Grassland in particular, please come for 11.30am.

Have you ever wondered what rewilding is, or what is happening at Denmarkfield? - With a series of mini drop-in workshops, you can get a taster of the ecological monitoring we do here. From plants, pollinators, birds, and badgers, come and see what catches your eye. These stations are suitable for adults & kids alike and will all be based within our Species Rich Grassland, in celebration of National Meadows Day 2025. Walk through ox-eye daisies up to your waist and spot the patches of yellow rattle, getting to know the meadow and all the life it supports.

We will take a look at the year gone by and the rewilding project so far, hearing some updates and some thank you's. BUT we will go even further back to hear where Denmarkfield got its name...with local storyteller Lindsey Gibb, we will hear the tale of the Battle of Luncarty. This will happen at 2pm - don't be late!!

Hot drinks, juice, savoury snacks and home baking will all be available free of charge throughout the event. We will ALSO have local pizza van Stielow Pizza Co. onsite with delicious stonebaked pizzas available to purchase from midday!!

Whether you are already involved in the project or have never been before...please do come along and be part of this great celebration.

Book a free ticket if you know you're coming, so we can get a sense of numbers (read that as how much cake to bring and how much fun to expect!). Alternatively, get in touch with Laurie to say you're coming and ask any questions: bGF1cmllIHwgZGVubWFya2ZpZWxkICEgY28gISB1aw==.

Please do share details of the event with others or bring a friend!

Family friendly event but all kids to have a responsible adult in tow for the duration. Donations towards costs very welcome on the day.

PARKING

We have cycle parking onsite, and the new cycle path into Perth is much improved. We are also a 15 min walk from the nearest bus stop. For those this is suitable for we would encourage travel to the event via public/active travel!

There is no parking provision down at Denmarkfield Allotments and as we are on a core path well-used for walking etc we will endeavour to keep traffic low, so if you are coming by car, we suggest parking either at the Luncarty Memorial Hall (15 min walk) or at the new Destiny Bridge Park & Choose site (15-20 min walk). Please park considerately, thinking of local residents.

If this will prevent you accessing the event, please do get in touch with Laurie - bGF1cmllIHwgZGVubWFya2ZpZWxkICEgY28gISB1aw== - to discuss other options.
