About the event

Join the team at Lackford Lakes in celebrating this spooky evening!

Come and explore the reserve after dark and get involved with some 'spooky' nature-themed activities to discover the creatures of the night!

Following the trail, you will get the opportunity to see the lakes in a whole new way and of course fancy dress is encouraged!

Activities will include:

Tin can bug hotel- upcycle your tin can to put out in your garden and create a home for insects. *Bring your own tin can!*

Owl pellet dissection - explore the curious diet of this beloved bird

Torch lit bug hunting- see what bugs can be found using our red light torches. Have a look at our moth trap and see the moths in action. 

Bat detectors - what bats can be found at the lakes? Join one of our volunteers who will guide you through how to use a bat detector to listen out for the bats flying around.

Skull handling - get up close and personal to find out which animal they belong to

Hedgehog Haven - find out how you can help hedgehogs in your garden and make a cute friend to take home!

 All activities are included in your ticket.

The event is recommended for 6+ due to the 'spooky' nature and is VERY dark between activities so please bring a torch! This is an outdoor event so wrap up warm and dress for the weather.

The cafe and toilets will be open on the night.

We are running the event over two days - click here for the link to  Wednesday's event.
