Hidden Figure Fayre

Join us at Screech Owl Sanctuary (TR9 6HP) for the Hidden Figures Fayre, a weekend (10 am–3 pm each day) celebrating craftsmanship, creativity, and conservation.
Explore beautiful craft stalls and enjoy live interviews with Stratum Marquetry, Bristol Broomworks, members of the Screech team, and Caitlin Pharoah, the talented photographer behind it all, along with many other incredible Hidden Figures.
Your visit helps keep endangered skills alive while supporting the vital work we do caring for our rescued owls and wildlife. And of course, you might even meet a few of our feathered VIPs along the way!
