Moth Morning at Lodge Park
Would you like to learn more about moths and see some of these amazing creatures in the light of day? Take part in a free moth morning at Lodge Park as we uncover the traps from the night before.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Come along to a special early opening of Lodge Park for a free moth morning from 10 - 11am, as we open the traps to discover what moths have been flying overnight.
Join moth enthusiast, Jean, as she uncovers the traps and records the variety of moth species that we have flying at Lodge Park.
We never know quite what we'll find! Everyone is welcome, children as well as grown-ups - all for free! No need to book, just come along between 10am and 11am to discover some moths.
In the event of extreme weather, when moths will be unlikely to fly, the event may be cancelled. Check back on this event listing or watch out for a yellow banner on the Sherborne Estate homepage where a message will appear if the event has been cancelled.
