Join sound artist Kathy Hinde to listen to Wicken Fen from another perspective, underwater, underground, inside trees and zooming in closely to distant sounds

- Admission applies
As part of our 125th Anniversary Day of Celebration we’re pleased to introduce you to Kathy Hinde, with whom we’re working on a creative project in response to the sounds of Wicken Fen.
