About this Event
Who is at Abberton after we all go home?
A chance to explore the site after hours and see what we can find. Watch the sunset from a bird hide and look for birds. Take the bat detectors out and see if we can hear them echolocating. We will even set up a hot chocolate making station for a mid-session snack!
Suitable for anyone aged 14 and over. However all attendees under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for outdoors. Bringing a torch is recommended.
