Festival Capacity: ≈ 600
Based on the festival’s official published capacity of 600 attendees. All Things Fungi Festival is intentionally small-scale, offering an intimate experience with limited tickets available each year.
Location
All Things Fungi Festival takes place at: Chiddinglye Estate, Selsfield Road, West Hoathly, East Grinstead, West Sussex, RH19 4QS.
Chiddinglye Estate is a private rural estate in the High Weald, featuring a mix of woodland, meadow, and gently sloping forest trails. The estate provides an ideal setting for fungi exploration, with diverse habitats that support a wide variety of mushroom species throughout the season.
The festival makes use of designated woodland areas for guided foraging walks and mushroom identification sessions led by experienced mycologists. Visitors are asked to stay within the clearly marked festival boundaries, as parts of the estate remain private or environmentally sensitive and are not accessible during the event.
See their dedicated Travel Information page for details on travel and arrival.
