Fantastic Fungi Spotting Trail

Be on the lookout for giant red mushrooms dotted around the garden complete with Fantastic Fungi facts and jokes!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

As we move into the autumn season and the leaves start to fall, why not take part in our seasonal spotter trail. Find ten fly agaric mushrooms throughout the garden, each one with its very own mushroom themed fact or joke. The perfect way to have some fun as you marvel at the fiery autumn colour.
