Tortworth turns 10: A Celebration in the Woods
Join us on Saturday, 26th April, as we celebrate a decade of community, conservation, and connection at Tortworth Forest Centre! Explore the magic of this restored ancient woodland through guided walks, family-friendly activities, and inspiring stories from our 10-year journey.
Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. This 10th Anniversary event is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thank you lottery players!
Whether you’re a long-time supporter or visiting for the first time, this is your chance to immerse yourself in nature and commemorate 10 years of shared achievements.
✨ Free entry – all welcome!
Parking is limited and we’re expecting to be very busy.
If you can, we’d really appreciate you parking outside the grounds and walking in. We have arranged overflow parking at Tortworth Primary School, which is around a 15 minute walk from the arboretum, or there are various street options nearby. This leaves the on site parking for those who really need it.
Better yet, arrive by public transport or bike and we’ll say thank you with a free hot drink!
