Nature at Night with Bath Astronomers
Friday 17th June 2022 from 21:00pm to 23:00pm
Percy Community Centre
New King Street, Bath, Avon, BA1 2BN
As the sun sets on Bath, we’ll explore how the city comes alive after dark.
Join the Festival of Nature, CPRE, Bath Astronomers, and wildlife experts for a nocturnal adventure of wildlife spotting and star gazing, as we discover the importance of darkness.
Keep your eyes peeled for bats, moths, foxes and all the nighttime wildlife that calls Bath home!
The event will start and finish at the Percy Community Centre, however much of the event will take place outdoors for spotting wildlife and star gazing. Please come dressed for the weather!
Please note that this has already taken place on 17/06/2022
