Nocturnal night out

An event with a difference that appeals to whole families – a chance to visit Castor Hanglands and see the rate Great Crested Newt, listen to bats and look for other night-time creatures. 
We have a guided evening visit to Castor Hanglands National Nature Reserve in partnership with our friends at Natural England.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about newts, bats and other nocturnal animals and if you are very lucky you might hear the unrivalled song of one of our most secretive summer visitors, the Nightingale.

This event is free, open to all and suitable for all ages, but may be more relevant to older children due to the late finish. Please dress up warm, bring a torch and be prepared for some mud!
