Fungi Town

 Hay Castle is celebrating everything to do with mushrooms, toadstools, lichen, moulds and yeasts on the weekend of 3rd to 5th October.  This coincides with UK Fungus Day, and is the first celebration of its kind in the country.

The event brings together local mushroom growers, experts, artists and local businesses for a varied programme of talks, workshops, films, exhibitions and more - and the whole town is getting involved.

There'll be fungus forays around Hay and at Queenswood on the edge of Hereford, to see what's growing locally, cocktails from Hay Distillery, and even the open mic at the Globe will be fungus themed.

The Saturday market will have stalls selling mushrooms, foraging baskets made locally, as well as cheeses, wine and cider.

It sounds like a lot of fun!
