About the event

Event runs every day at College Lake, excluding Mondays (except bank holidays).

Capacity is unlimited, no need to book.

Ickle Owl has landed at College Lake! Follow him around the site to find his friends and learn more about them. Meet Sassy the slithering snake, Hold Timmy the Toad in your hand and collect a gift from Stu the Stoat all through our augmented reality trail!
