The first #CelebrateTheFens day will be taking place on 20th June 2020.
We’re asking people and organistions of the Fens to do their “thing” to promote the fens. This could be anything from holding an event, camping, writing a poem, putting a photo on social media or leading/joining a tour. The ideas can be endless, but we ask you to consider our values of promoting and exploring the fens through heritage, nature, creativity, wellbeng and accessibility.
If you would like to hold an event in the Fens to “Celebrate the Fens” please email us and we’ll send you a registration form fascinatingfens@outlook.com
The concept of Celebrate The Fens day started when we (Fascinating Fens) asked our followers if they believed it to be a good idea to have a celebrate the fens day, we had an overwhelming response to say “Yes”. This date has been decided, after several great suggestions, as the longest day gives people longer in the day to admire the beauty of our fascinating fens. More details to be realised soon.
If you would like to sponsor the event, please also get in touch with us. this would enable us to be able to promote the event even more.
