About the event

Did you know the glow worm is not actually a worm, but a beetle. Males look like typical beetles, but the nightly glow of a female is unmistakeable - lighting up to attract a mate in the darkness of their grassland habitats..

Join Our Warden on a guided exploration around College Lake after dark to find these illuminating creatures.

Please be aware:

• Please arrive at 9:30pm when our gates will open for a 9.45pm start at the Visitor Centre where we will start our walk.
• If you have a torch we recommend bringing one but have some to use here as well.
• The session lasts 2hrs and involves a 3km gentle walk around part of the site including small areas of steep slopes and uneven ground - meaning it is not suitable for the use of trampers or other mobility scooters.
• This activity takes place outdoors and we recommend appropriate clothing for all weathers.
