As part of this year’s Brighton Festival, the Lost Woods Project is offering a series of inclusive sensory woodland experiences created specifically for Deaf and hard of hearing people and learning‑disabled communities. These gentle, supported walks are designed to help participants slow down, connect with nature through all their senses, and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of time spent among ancient trees. With BSL interpretation, clear pre‑event information and a welcoming approach, the events aim to reduce barriers and help woodlands feel more accessible, inclusive and enjoyable for everyone. Advance booking is essential.

Our wellbeing course for adults offers you the chance to find out how spending time in woodlands can improve your mental health. Register your interest to join the Storrington course today.

We spoke with Keith Lovegrove to discuss his photographic portraits which celebrate the lives, skills, and deep-rooted knowledge of those who live and work in the woods of southeast England.
