Big Wild Summer Damsels and Dragons hunt at Newport Wetlands

The wildflower meadow on the reserve is full of all sorts of insects and sweep netting is a fun way to have a look at these lovely creatures up close.

We will start with some insect factoids and quiz and there will be a chance to make your own dragonfly to take home before heading onto the reserve to see what we can find in the sweep nets.

We will be spending an hour or so in long grass and wildflowers and therefore this event may not be suitable for those with hay fever.

This is a family event approximately 1.5 hours long. Children’s tickets include 1 free adult and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Extra adults tickets can be purchased subject to availability.

Why not make a day of it and have a spot of lunch in the café or picnic area. Sorry there are no dogs allowed on this event
