The Big Mushroom Hunt

Artist Poppy-Lee Jennings has sculpted a mini forest full of fungi and hidden them around Left Bank Leeds. Join us for this art scavenger hunt, spot some beautiful mushrooms and learn a little about fungi and foraging too!

Every forager will receive a blank foraging guide to fill out, pencils for field studies, and a map that will give you clues and help you find all the mushrooms in our space. If you follow the clues find all the mushrooms on the list then you'll be entered into a prize draw at the end of the day.

There are four time slots available to book and each booking includes one guide per person so make sure you book tickets for the right amount of people! Tickets are split into different options for solo, groups & families.

Time Slots available:

13:00-14:00
14:00-15:00
