Pride in Nature
Saturday 14 June - save the date!
Join us this Pride Month to celebrate equality, diversity, inclusion and nature for all, with a programme of activities including:
Queer Ecology Walk | 10-11.30am or 12.30-2pm
Did you know that scientists often struggle to find male woodlice? Or that male trees can turn female? Or that many bird species form same-sex partnerships? ‘Queer Ecology’ challenges our ideas of what’s “natural” and celebrates diversity in all life. Join ecologist Connor Butler on a gentle, guided nature walk exploring the wonderfully diverse and unusual lifecycles of plants and animals. You'll learn how to identify birds, insects, and flora while seeing nature from a whole new perspective.
FREE with admission, pre-bookable or sign up on the day. The walk lasts 90 minutes.
Family Rainbow Nature Trail
Take part in a Pride Rainbow Wheel Scavenger Hunt! Families will search for the colours of the rainbow in the natural world, pegging their finds to a rainbow plate.
Family-friendly Drag Queen Story Time | 11.30am or 2.30pm
Head to the cinema for an interactive and fun story time session.
FREE with admission, pre-bookable or sign up on the day.
Craft activities
Pick a wetland creature to inspire your craft — birds like herons, bitterns, swans, or creatures like frogs, dragonflies, or newts. Use craft materials (coloured paper, feathers, biodegradable glitter, paints, recycled materials) to decorate wings, masks, or large feathers in rainbow Pride colours or using the colours of your favourite Pride flag.
