About the event

Join us in the dark as we search for biofluorescence on the reserve!

On this guided walk, our knowledgeable staff will help you spot the wonders of the night. Biofluorescence occurs when UV light is absorbed by plants, animals, fungi, or other living things and light is reemitted back to us in gorgeous technicolour! Have a go at using our professional UV torches which will illuminate the creatures around us.

This event is aimed at adults and would be suitable for teens 11+. Children under 18 need their own ticket and must be accompanied by an adult with a ticket. Babies in arms/pushchairs are welcome to accompany for free, although please note the late time of this event.
