Something wild is coming to Hedingham this spring…

Introducing WILD KEEP WEEKEND: a wondrous celebration of nature, heritage and traditional craft, all set within the unique surroundings of Hedingham Castle over the May Day Bank Holiday Weekend!

Created in partnership with Essex Wildlife Trust, we’re turning up the volume on the natural world. Hedingham is a micro-biodiversity hotspot: a unique mosaic of ecosystems thriving within a single estate, and we’re inviting you to get hands-on in our small but mighty patch of Essex countryside.

From fascinating performances and captivating storytelling, to experiential workshops and inspiring conversations, there is something for everyone to discover. Visitors of all ages can slow down, explore the estate like never before and reconnect with the ancient skills that have shaped this landscape for generations.

Come and learn a new craft, breathe in the great outdoors, wander our makers’ market and experience Hedingham in a fresh new light. WILD KEEP WEEKEND will leave you feeling inspired, grounded and deeply connected to the wild heart of Essex.
