Fascismo Abbandonato: Fascism in Ruins, until 26 July, admission free
Fascismo Abbandonato (Fascism in Ruins) takes the form of an artwork recording the extraordinary forgotten monuments that artist Dan Dubowitz and architect Patrick Duerden discovered as they tracked down fascist buildings in northern Italy between 2005 and 2008. By jumping fences and exploring dense overgrown forests they discovered huge and sublilme modern ruins, the remains of camps for the vast fascist youth programme. What began as a series of road trips across Italy has become an extraordinary exploration of the archeology of the present.
Take Part
The Emperor's Breakfast, Sunday 5 July, 9.30-4pm

Due to popular demand, Fermynwoods have added extra places to The Emperor's Breakfast' event with butterfly expert Matthew Oates.
Matthew Oates, of the National Trust, is the leading authority on the Purple Emperor butterfly. He will stage a journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of Britain's most unusual butterfly. Participants will be shown round Fermyn Woods (the best place in England for Purple Emperors) and taught how to spot this majestic but elusive insect.
