About this Event

Bumble Bee Safari Walk is a slow, gentle wander through Whitehall Park where we’ll actively look for bumblebees, identify different species, and notice the flowers they’re visiting.

This is not a hike and it’s not a lecture. It’s a calm, curious afternoon outdoors, perfect if you love nature, want to learn a little more about pollinators, or simply fancy slowing down and paying attention to what’s alive around you.

Date: Sunday 17 May 2026
Time: 1.00pm to 4.00pm
Meeting point: Rose Garden, Whitehall Park, Darwen


What we’ll do
  • Learn how to spot bumblebees safely and respectfully
  • Practice simple identification (no prior knowledge needed)
  • Notice what’s in bloom and which plants bumbles are drawn to
  • Enjoy a mindful, nature-based walk with plenty of pauses

Who it’s for
  • All abilities and all ages (children welcome with a responsible adult)
  • Anyone interested in bumblebees, wildflowers, gardening, biodiversity, or gentle wellbeing outdoors
  • Beginners especially welcome

What to bring
  • Weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes
  • A drink, and a snack if you’d like
  • Optional: phone/camera for photos (no need for specialist kit)

Important notes
  • This is an outdoor event, so it will go ahead in light rain. If conditions are unsafe (high winds/heavy rain), we’ll share an update as early as possible.
  • Booking is essential.
