Explore the magic of nature after dark at our night-time safari, held at Redcatch Community Garden.

As the sun goes down, the garden transforms giving you the chance to explore British wildlife in a completely new way. Track bats using real detectors, see what creatures are attracted to our light traps, try some night-time photography, or look up and explore the stars with a bit of astronomy. There will also be the chance to join in creative workshops.

This is a great chance to unwind, meet others and learn something new. Drop in whenever, stay as long as you like, grab some refreshments, and just enjoy the a lovely June evening. The garden is easily accessible via local public transport routes, with buses running regularly along Wells Road.
