Anyone dressed as a fairy or elf will get free admission to the National Botanic Garden of Wales on Wales Fungus Day – Sunday October 13.
The annual celebration of fungi features guided walks of fairy rings and tours of the Garden’s famous (and very rare) waxcap meadows as well as a chance to get up close and personal with some tree-rotting fungi, too.
Organiser and huge fungi fan Bruce Langridge said: “It’s going to be another great day at the Garden. We will be cooking with mushrooms, putting them under the microscope and having a host of fun and fungi-related family activities in the Great Glasshouse. There’ll be a chance to buy fairy clothes, doors and wands. You could even have a go at making your own wood-turned toadstools!”
Another feature of the day will be the launch of a symphonic poem and overture entitled The Tethered Fairy ring, created by award winning musician by Cheryl Beer.
Wales Fungus Day runs from 10am until 4.30pm.
The Garden is open from 10am to 4.30pm. For more information, visit www.gardenofwales.org.uk email info@gardenofwales.org.uk or call 01558 667149.
