Wild Night Out
Have a Wild Night Out at Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse! Join us afterhours for a special event with live music, bat walks and moth trapping. Attendees are welcome to arrive from 6:45pm for a 7:15pm performance from Norfolk musicians, Clark and Zuppardi. Before listening to tunes from Lutestring, their songbook inspired by British moths, attendees can pop into our newly finished pub display in Village Row and buy a drink (cash only). After the performance, members of the Norfolk & Norwich Bat Group and local moth enthusiast David Norgate will share more about what they do, and the species to look out for during Norfolk summers. Attendees will take one of two led bat walk routes complete with bat detectors, and return to the main site to open a moth trap together at the end of the event to see what might be waiting. Attendees are encouraged to dress appropriately for the evening's weather including sturdy shoes, and to bring their own torch.
