Family Event: Family Moth Trap Opening (13/08/2024) Tuesday, 13th August 2024 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Leader: Alice Oakley

Take part in our fascinating moth trapping activity at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve! Join in, as we open our traps to discover what moths have arrived overnight, then identify and release them. We never know what we’ll find, from tiny micro-moths, to the beautiful and rare Sussex Emerald.

Then we’ll return to the Discovery Centre for fun moth-related craft, as well as a drink and a sweet treat. If the weather is too wet, we’ll offer activities indoors, like salt dough modelling or nature-themed games.

Suitable for children aged 5 to 11 years, who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please be aware that all participants need to buy a ticket.

If you have any questions, or to request if siblings can attend, contact us on: [email protected]

Price includes a drink and a sweet treat, please tell us about any dietary needs on booking.

Location: Meet at Rye Harbour Discovery Centre, Rye Harbour, TN31 7FW
