Let's dive into the magical world of biofluorescent creatures during a night walk at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes!
About this Event

Come and discover night-time nature on NWT Sweet Briar Marshes and the wonder of colours that are produced under ultraviolet light. Afterwards, you can use these techniques to find the night-time nature that lives in your garden, on your balcony or in your local wild area.

Note that you will need to bring a pair of sunglasses that have either the CE mark or UV400 rating as we will be using torches that produce UVA light.

The event is suitable for children aged 5 to 11 years old. Please book each child onto the event and not adults. Each family group must have at least 1 adult attending.


Please meet at the BMX track at Sloughbottom Park, What3Words ///riots.warns.thanks

Further details will be shared with you a few days before the event.
