Listen to the Voices of the Fen invites us to actively listen to the voices of the many different species at Wicken Fen. Listen from a new perspective on a guided listening walk, wander at your own pace to explore sound installations, or take part in workshops to creatively respond to the soundscape... all aimed at bringing more attention to the intriguing and captivating soundworlds of Wicken Fen.
Discover the hidden sounds we often don’t notice, from underwater, underground, inside trees and activated by the wind.
Listen to the Voices of the Fen is a project led by artist Kathy Hinde in partnership with Wicken Fen, National Trust and Babylon Arts supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
