SUMMARY:Re-Style It Re-Use It
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly Clothes Repair Workshop 4.15 – 6.15pm\n\nOur workshop is a friendly and practical space dedicated to giving your wardrobe a longer life. Whether it’s a missing button\, a small tear\, or a worn patch\, this workshop is all about repairing and refreshing your clothes so they can be loved and worn again.\n\nIt’s not a formal sewing lesson—you won’t be taught how to sew from scratch—but you will pick up useful tips\, ideas\, and confidence in mending.\n\nThis workshop is open to all ages (children accompanied by an adult) and is designed for anyone who wants to make their clothes last longer\, reduce waste\, and get creative with fabric. All basic materials and equipment will be provided\, including needles\, thread\, scissors\, fabric scraps\, and iron-on patches. Simply bring along the items you’d like to repair—whether that’s one well-loved piece or a few items you’ve been meaning to fix. You’re also welcome to return each week with new items.\n\nRepairing our clothes is about more than just saving money; it’s an act of sustainability. By mending instead of discarding\, we reduce textile waste\, cut down on fast fashion consumption\, and celebrate the stories our clothes carry. With a little creativity\, even the smallest repair can become a unique feature that adds character and charm.

SUMMARY:Fungi Field Recorder Day
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Mark Spencer to record the fungi of Lesnes Abbey Woods and delve into the fascinating world of mycology. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFungi are a diverse group of organisms that include moulds\, yeasts\, and mushrooms\, and are classified in their own kingdom separate from plants and animals. They reproduce by releasing spores and obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter\, often playing a vital role as decomposers in ecosystems. Fungi can be beneficial\, such as in food production\, medicine (e.g. antibiotics)\, and nutrient recycling\, but some species are harmful\, causing diseases in plants\, animals\, and humans. \nJoin like-minded people with an interest in recording wildlife observations for a day identifying and recording fungi in an informal environment. Naturalists of all levels (from beginner to expert) will be able to share their experiences with peers and help one another improve their knowledge and build confidence in biological recording\, all under the guidance of mycologist Mark Spencer. \n\n\n\n\nWhat will the day involve?\n\nPractical experience of finding and identifying fungi in the field.\nAccess to an experienced mycologist and the opportunity to discuss field mycology.\nA chance to meet fellow like-minded people from a range of different disciplines.\n\nWhat do I need to know in advance?\n\nThis event is aimed at adults only.\nAttendance is free\, but booking is essential as spaces are limited.\nFungi recorders of all abilities are welcome.\nIdentification will take place in the field whenever possible\, but some fungi specimens may need to be collected and preserved for accurate identification.\nThis is not a foraging event. We have a strict no foraging policy on our recording events.\nWe’ll be outside for the whole day so please bring suitable clothing for all types of weather\, as well as your lunch and any snacks you will require with you on the day.\n\nThis event is being run as a collaboration between the Biological Recording Company and Lesnes Abbey Woods as part of the Lesnes 500 project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
