Global Birdfair 2022

Following the announcement from the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust that it would no longer host the British Birdfair, we were delighted to hear that the event will still continue in a new format, location and name. The festival will bring together wildlife conservationists, representatives of nature travel, birders and natural history enthusiasts from all over the world.

Global Birdfair will take place at the Rutland Showground in Oakham over the weekend of 15th to 17th July 2022. The event will be ran as a ‘not for profit’ festival and will support conservation projects with the funding raised.

Tickets are now on sale here.
