Events to mark Heath Week

Thames Basin Heaths Partnership Heath Week events run from July 28th to August 3rd & they hope to see you there!

Heathland is precious and we can all play a part in protecting it by joining in the activities organised by Thames Basin Heaths Partnership who are just buzzing about Heath Week 2025. 

Heath Week is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in free events across Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire. With a family-friendly focus, you’re invited to explore incredible heathland wildlife from the majestic Nightjar to rare butterflies and six species of native reptile!  

There’ll be interactive quizzes, nature trails, creative crafts and other engaging activities, designed to inspire both children and adults alike. Meet the friendly TBHP team and partners celebrating the magic of the heathland landscape. For those that visit the heaths with canine companions, Heathland Hounds will be on hand with free advice and dog treats, new dog-friendly walks to explore and more.
