Book Now - 14:00!

An expert on the natural world and an approachable guide, Dr Beavis will be leading fun, lively and informative trails across the parks of Tunbridge Wells. The Park Safaris offer participants an opportunity to discover the wildlife which exists right on their doorstep. Participants will learn about how to look for insects and identify local varieties, all under the watchful guidance of Dr Beavis who will be on hand to offer advice, expertise and interesting facts.

Spotter cards will be available but participants but are encouraged to bring their own bug spotting tools. However, these 'bug boxes' don't need to be anything fancy - a jam jar or clear Tupperware will work nicely.  Park Safaris will go ahead come rain, come shine, so do bring raincoats and wellies or suncream and sun hats depending on the weather!
 
Park Safaris are aimed at families with children of all ages who want to learn more about the insects which share their home with us.

The 'bug-hunts' last about an hour, although we recommend that participants allow 1hr30 for the whole Park Safari experience.  

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. 

Thursday 7th August - Dunorlan Park - Please meet by the cafe
