About the event

As the sun rises over the reserve, we’ll open our moth traps and reveal the night’s visitors. Learn how moth traps work, where best to place them, pick up moth ID tips, and find out how to attract these fascinating creatures to your own garden. 

After your early adventure, we’ll head to the Visitor Centre where a well-earned full English breakfast awaits. Booking is required, as places are limited. This event is for adults and families with children aged 13 and over. 

This is an outdoor activity so do come dressed for the weather and we’d recommend bringing insect repellent with you.
