Fungi Town
A weekend celebrating the fabulous kingdom of fungi at Hay Castle.
Fungi Town is a free, family-friendly event taking place in Hay-on-Wye on the weekend of UK Fungus Day (3–5 October 2025) dedicated to the unbelievable, weird and wonderful world of mushrooms, toadstools, lichens, moulds and yeasts.
Led by a team of volunteers and enthusiasts, the event will bring together leading experts, growers, artists, and businesses for an exciting line-up of talks, workshops, films, exhibitions, feasts, art and more.
Fungi Town is the first event of its kind in the UK – a fungal takeover of an entire town! Hosted in the beautifully renovated Hay Castle, and by shops and venues across Hay, this is a community-led and playful celebration of mushrooms in all their amazingness.
Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a lifelong fanatic, join us for a weekend of discovery, creativity and connection — all inspired by the magic of fungi.
