About this 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.

Please read:



  • If you or a member of your household are feeling unwell on the day of the event, please do not attend.
  • Booking is essential via website.
  • Photography consent - BBOWT sometimes take photos/videos for marketing purposes used in the public domain. Please contact us if you do not consent

Will you help answer nature's SOS call by adding a £5 gift to this booking? You'll help BBOWT bring nature back across our three counties. Please select a donation ticket option if you wish to donate. You can find out more about our Nature Recovery Fund .
