BogFest, which takes place September 21 to 23 at venues throughout the Edale, is set to celebrate the iconic moorland of the Peak District and South Pennines.

Public events will provide visitors with the opportunity to find out more about the blanket bogs that form treasured local moorland. Blanket bogs provide a wealth of benefits to us, including supplying clean drinking water, a habitat for special wildlife to call home, and helping to reduce the risk of flooding in local at-risk communities.
