Do you love films - and care about your environment?

You can take part in an extraordinary event coming to Leeds to celebrate the importance of peatlands – it’s the BogFilmFest.

Three fun events are being held across the north of England in the lead up to International Bog Day by the WaterLANDS team based at University of Leeds and the Great North Bog coalition to encourage new audiences to discover why peatlands matter and find out about how teams are working hard to restore them.

Four short films will be shown about our enigmatic peatlands and their many connections to human and planetary wellbeing, followed by a lively discussion with directors and artists and then live music. 

Bogs are brilliant – they mitigate the effects of climate change, preserve biodiversity, minimise flood risk, ensure safe drinking water and store carbon.

Book your place and experience the magic of the peatlands. See Tickets below.
