Southsea UV Night Walk

EXPLORE

Equipped with a UV torch and surrounded by biofluorescent insects ready to be found, you'll be led around a set area but with the freedom to explore it how you choose. (UV torch provided).

CONNECT

Use the UV torch to see insects and their habitat in a new light. Discover the rarely seen biofluorescence emitted by nature, a natural reaction to the UV light that makes these organisms glow!

WONDER

Led by natural history photographer & artist James Wylie, you'll get an insight into why these insects glow. We'll also discuss ideas around what biofluorescence tells us about the hidden reality that insects live in.

Where?

The Rock Gardens along the Southsea seafront. Meet outside of the Pyramids Centre (what3words: ///dairy.forum.pencil)

If driving, there should be ample parking along Clarence Esplenade.

If taking public transport, take the Stagecoach 23 bus to South Parade Pier. It's approximately a 5-10 minute walk from there along the seafront.

When?

This session is on Friday 16th January 2026

Please meet at The Rock Gardens for 6pm.

Remeber to wrap up warm!

I look forward to seeing you! - James
