About the event
Come and discover night-time nature on NWT Sweet Briar Marshes and the wonder of colours that are produced under ultraviolet light. Afterwards, you can use these techniques to find the night-time nature that lives in your garden, on your balcony or in your local wild area.
Note that you will need to bring a pair of sunglasses that have either the CE mark or UV400 rating as we will be using torches that produce UVA light.
The event is suitable for children aged 5 to 11 years old. Please book each child onto the event and not adults. Each family group must have at least 1 adult attending.
