Book

Join us this February half term for a guided walk by David Atthowe of Reveal Nature through the Botanic Garden to discover the hidden world of biofluorescence. With UV torches provided you will discover the hidden colours in the plants that surround us but are barely ever seen.

This walk is strictly for over 8’s (please see our lantern making event suitable for under 8’s if booking for younger children), and children must be accompanied at all times. When booking please be aware that each member of the group will need their own ticket. The walk will move at a slow pace so please dress accordingly and you will be issued with safety glasses to be worn for your protection.

Entry to this event will be via Brookside Bike Park on Bateman Street. The walks will begin promptly, and we will not be able to wait for latecomers or return to meet them due to the nature of this event. Walks will last 90 minutes.
