About the event

This is part of an annual programme of Wild in the Woods family sessions throughout the year in Cambourne.

Join Becca Badger for a night-time family adventure walk around Cambourne Nature Reserve in the dark. We'll walk around 1.5 miles at a gentle pace with bat detectors to hear these fascinating night-time hunters, and we'll also listen out for hooting owls and barking deer.

This session is perfect for families with children aged 7-11, and older children will also enjoy it. We will adapt with the group, but it is not suitable for under 5s.
