About this Event

Join @garden.of.moths for live moth trapping, hands-on identification and to find out more about our fluttery, flighty friends. Experience the majesty of moths whilst sipping on some delicious moth-themed cocktails. Lime hawkmoth, anyone?

This evening event will consist of a fascinating talk to learn more about the secrets of our fluttery friends. Getting up close and personal trapping and identifying live moths (don't worry - you only have to get as close as you feel comfortable with, and the process is of course completely harmless for the moths). You'll also have the opportunity to try a variety of delicious moth themed mocktails served inside at our warm and friendly Nature Discovery Centre!
