Raucous Halloween Celebrations at Lackford Lakes
Discover the enchanting world of nocturnal animals and create spooky nature crafts at Lackford Lakes' special events on October 28th and 29th. This spooky-themed wildlife extravaganza includes activities such as owl pellet dissection, bat detector usage, and a clay creature station.
These events are designed for families and children, offering a unique blend of wildlife exploration and Halloween fun. While specific details for the October 28-29 event can be confirmed by contacting Lackford Lakes Nature Reserve or checking their official event listings, it's worth noting that they regularly host Twilight Safaris and seasonal wildlife discovery events featuring such activities.
Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather, as the event takes place outdoors. Costumes are also welcome, adding to the spooky atmosphere. A torch or lantern is essential for navigating the dark paths between activities.
The event will take place at Lackford Lakes, which offers facilities such as a cafe and toilets. Bicycle parking is available, and parking information can be found on their website. It's important to note that dogs, except assistance dogs, are not permitted at the event.
All activities, including the tin can bug hotel creation, are included in the ticket price. For those with specific accessibility needs, contact the organizers before the event. The Centre, cafe, and lower floor are wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet at the front of the building.
The route is relatively flat with no steep portions, and the hides are wheelchair accessible in good weather, although this is not guaranteed after poor weather. Warm clothes are recommended due to the chilly autumn evenings. The blue trail can be wheelchair accessible, but this is dependent on weather conditions.
These events are suitable for children aged 6 and above due to their 'spooky' nature. For full event terms and conditions, visit their specific website. Tickets for both days can be booked on their ticketing page.
Remember to bring a reusable cup for takeaway drinks and a tin can for the bug hotel making activity. For more information about the events, visit the Lackford Lakes website.
