Join us to celebrate the official arrival of spring, when the day and night are equal in length. We will gather in Queen Elizabeth Gardens and enjoy hot drinks and homemade biscuits and cake together before setting off along the Town Path to watch the sun set over Harnham Water Meadows (possibly through cloud but we'll know it's there!). We'll mindfully take notice of the changes that happen in nature quietly and often quickly at this time of year - things like leaves and flowers emerging, an increase in insect activity and the return of birdsong. We may spot a Grey Heron or Little Egret in the ditches on the meadows. If it's a warm evening, we may even see a bat. Who knows what other wildlife we will see?
Who is it for?

We value diversity, and hope to create a community that reflects the breadth of people in our society. Please share any medical, mobility, dietary or other needs on booking, so we can plan activities (and snacks!) that are suitable for all.
