The Armitt's annual: Fungi Fest

A day of fungi-themed activities at The Armitt, including a guided walk, needle-felting workshop and museum trail.

The programme includes an all-day fungi trail in the museum, a 10:30am–12:30pm fungi walk and foray around Ambleside led by volunteer and fungi expert Helen Speed, and a 1:00–4:00pm needle-felting workshop led by local fibre artist Mia Eccleston. In the workshop, make a 3D needle-felted mushroom on a log slice; it is suitable for beginners and those more familiar with the craft. Confirm the walk route and meeting point with the museum. The listing describes the workshop as 2.5 hours while giving a 1:00–4:00pm session window; confirm the booked workshop finish. Advance booking is required; check the museum or booking page for ticket prices and terms.
