About the event

Join us this Easter school holiday, for a unique opportunity to explore the reserve after everyone else has gone home. You will have the chance to catch bugs, watch the sunset, and have an adventure. We will even see if we can find any nocturnal creatures hiding around the reserve and in the ponds! There will also be an evening treat at our hot chocolate station to keep us fuelled on our adventure. Recommended for age 5+
