Secrets of the Heath at Hogmoor Inclosure

About

A weekend of free fun for the whole family

Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June, 11.00-16.00

Discover wonderful wildlife and rich heritage of our Lowland heath on 8 and 9 June as the Secrets of the Heath festival returns to Hogmoor Inclosure in Bordon. Join a Saxon shield battle, come face-to-face with some of our native reptiles, and discover more about the incredibly rare wildlife that surrounds the area on our heathlands with a series of information talks. Step back in time and discover some of the fascinating people from the past who would have called the heaths home. Enjoy the full authentic experience with lots of interesting artefacts to touch and demonstrations to see. With Whitehill and Bordon's rich military heritage, this year we've teamed up with Whitehill Town council at their special events on 8th June very nearby in the town centre to commemorate 80th Anniversary of the Normany Landings.

As well as re-enactments, a medieval camp and storytelling, visitors to the free annual festival can search for weird and wonderful insects on the heath with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, and perfect their birding technique with the RSPB. On Saturday night there is also the chance to join an expert led bat walk and there will be plenty of food and drink stalls on site.
