Throughout Orkney
The Orkney Nature Festival is an annual celebration of all the nature and wildlife found across the islands. From photography workshops to nature cruises, the event gives both visitors and locals the chance to experience Orkney's wild side at its very best.
Launched in 2013, the Orkney Nature Festival has given thousands of people the opportunity to enjoy, and be inspired by, the magnificent Orcadian wildlife. Events have included cruises around some of the largest cliffs in Britain, nature photography classes with local experts, guided walks amongst choruses of birdsong, and much more.
Orkney Nature Festival is a collaborative project co-ordinated by a new comittee on behalf of partners around Orkney including businesses, community groups and individual volunteers.
Organisers are always delighted with the response from local groups, businesses, and individuals, all eager to get involved in celebrating Orkney’s unique wildlife and natural heritage, with programmes featuring events on islands from Westray to South Ronaldsay, covering everything from snorkelling to storytelling, rockpooling to rambling.
The 2025 Orkney Nature Festival will run from Monday 12th May to Sunday 18th May inclusive.
