As part of Lancaster Litfest 2026, the Lancaster Lore Story Hunt is coming to Fairfield Nature Reserve. Find the wildlife stories hidden around the reserve and solve the puzzles first to win a fantastic set of children’s books. Eight brand new local folklore and wildlife stories will be created and hidden across Fairfield’s hedgerows, orchards and woodland!
