About this event

  • 2 hours

This adventure of astronomy, sensory discovery and night creatures brings the secretive world of the woodland and marshland to life as you have never seen it before.

Join night explorer Jon Tyler for a dark sky odyssey. Weather depending, you may converse with a family of owls up close, see glow worms and discover the hidden life of the forest in the pitch dark!

Along the way you will be transported back to ancient times where fire, willow-the-wisp glows and the night sky were the only lights we knew. Find out about birch torches, star gazing, triboluminescence and night-vision exploring.
