About this Event

Summer is one of the liveliest times on Horfield Common!

Join us for a guided walk led by wildlife educator, local historian and nature enthusiast, Steve England, exploring the wildlife that thrives here during the warmer months.

As we move through different habitats across the Common, we will ask:

  • What species are most active in summer?
  • How do grassland, hedgerows and trees support different wildlife?
  • Which insects, birds and mammals can we spot at this time of year?
  • How do plants provide food and shelter for other species?
  • What makes the Common such an important urban habitat?

This relaxed and engaging walk is a chance to discover the variety of wildlife living in our neighbourhood.

Please dress for the weather and be prepared to walk! The talk will be approximately 90 minutes.

There are limited spaces on this walk. Booking on a first come first served basis, and must be booked in advance!

Ticket prices

£10 per person, which includes the Eventbrite service and processing fees.

Cancellation/Postponing due to Poor Weather

Steve England Outdoor Learning events take place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately may need to be postponed or cancelled in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. FoHC will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 – 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occasions, sudden weather changes may mean it's closer than this). Please keep an eye on your emails for information regarding this.
