Creatures of Bristol! 🍁 Quiz update!! 🍄

Tickets to the first Can We Talk Nature? Pub quiz are now on sale!

Hop on over to Headfirst to grab a ticket and make sure you secure yourself a spot!! 🦡

Wondering what’s in store at the quiz?…

Can you do a scarily accurate impression of a woodpecker?

Can you identify a hawthorne berry blindfolded?

Do you know more tree types that you’ve had hot dinners?

Could you name the top mushroom varieties of Bristol and think of their first album title?

THEN YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

A night of nature-fuelled quizzing for silly geese and ducks alike. A mixture of fun, some might say WILD(life) trivia, Bristol based nature knowledge, and a whole load of laughs.

Making a team with us is optional of course as the whole event is open to all, as always, whatever your experience of foraging so far. This is a collective space for people who want to make new friends, share thoughts and learn new things.

Getting there: meet at Bruhaha, 156-158 Wells Road, Totterdown, BS4 2AG. The number 24, 25, 46, 48 and 49 buses all stop nearby. We'll spend this session inside the community centre.

All funds raised go to supporting future nature and wildlife projects in BS4!

Accessibility: Main Entrance - there is a small step (2 to 3 inches) at the main entrance with no handrail. Bar Area - reaching the bar and moving between the bar area and the main seating area requires navigating two steps (around 5 to 6 inches deep) that feature a handrail. Downstairs / Basement - Bruhaha features a downstairs basement space and snug used for music, events, and extra seating, which is only accessible via a staircase (with a handrail). Let us know if you're unsure of any additional adjustments, or want to get in touch ahead of the session [maria@healingweeds.co.uk]

We'll also learn about lots of other wild plants we see on the way.
