About this Event

Join local naturalists Jeremy and Vanna for a morning of exploring the lives and wonders of our insect friends. We'll take a number of approaches including sweep netting, bush beating and soil panning to get up close to the sometimes hard-to-see beasts that live on Sweet Briar Marshes. This will be an interactive session and all equipment will be provided.

Please note that this event is only suitable for adults.

Please meet at the BMX track at Sloughbottom Park, What3Words ///riots.warns.thanks. Further joining information will be sent the week of the event.

Everyone’s welcome at Sweet Briar Marshes
As part of our commitment to making nature accessible for all, and to ensure local communities benefit from Sweet Briar Marshes, we’ve introduced the following ticketing model:

Free Community Tickets
We want everyone to feel welcome at Sweet Briar Marshes.
If you live within around a mile (20 minutes walk) of the site - or if cost would make it difficult for you to join, please choose a free community ticket.
No questions asked - just come and enjoy the event.

We’ve noticed that a few free places sometimes go unused, and as a charity, that can really add up. If you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket at least 24 hours before the event so someone else can take your place. We often run a waiting list and would love to offer your spot to another local resident.

Standard Tickets (Members / Non-Members)
If you don’t live locally, or you’re able to pay and would like to support our work, we’d really appreciate a small contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone.
Your ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering free community places at future events.

Come and be part of your local wild space - everyone’s welcome.


Accessibility
We want our events, and nature itself, to be accessible to everyone. If you have specific needs or requirements, please get in touch at [email protected] so we can support you wherever possible. Please be aware that the natural terrain and access conditions may limit what we are able to provide on site.
