Nocturnal Wildlife and Perseids Meteor Shower Guided Walk
Bring along your torch and blanket and visit the Deer Park at night discovering some of the nocturnal wildlife and try out a bit of star gazing.
A rare opportunity to experience the Deer Park after dark and hear about our bats, owls, and other creatures of the night. Take a look at the stars of the night sky from a dark sky site. Bring along a picnic blanket and look up to the sky. We might be lucky enough to catch the meteor shower before 10pm.
