Capture the low light and long shadows in this informal photography walk - an opportunity to try something new in the first month of the year.

With the sun setting early, this afternoon walk will allow you to appreciate the 'golden hour', when the light is ideal for taking photos. The walk will take you out into parkland to enjoy the monuments and take in the views, you might even spot some of the resident deer.

Bring your phone – or a camera – and join volunteer Steve and other like-minded people for an atmospheric walk in the parkland.

No experience needed. This walk is ideal for those who are new to photography.
