Britain's most exciting wildlife comes out at night. As we sleep bats, owls, hedgehogs and badgers emerge to hunt in woodland glades and a multitude of moths take to the wing. For tonight's special event at The Secret Campsite we will head out in search of some of these incredible animals. We'll sit quietly in the woods listening for owls, Nightingales and walk through amongst the hornbeams searching for Glow-worms, Hedgehogs, Foxes and Badgers. We will be using bat detectors to locate pipistrelles and Serotines. We'll also set up a moth trap to lure in some incredible moths and hopefully we'll find the stunning Ghost Moth as it dances in the moonlight. And if any actual supernatural ghoulies manifest themselves we'll try and get a selfie. The evening will start with tea, coffee and cake around the fire as Sussex naturalist Michael Blencowe introduces the evening with some stories of ghosts and other nocturnal wildlife. Then we'll head out for a slow, quiet walk around a local private woodland and aim to return just before midnight. If you'd like to turn this event into a real wild night out you can choose to stay over at the campsite. More details of the campsite can be found on their website www.thesecretcampsite.co.uk. You may also be interested in the following day's Moth Morning event. Details: The Secret Campsite is located 10 minutes from Lewes. Full details will be sent out to attendees nearer to the event.

Moths are Britain's most incredible insects. Some are more colourful than our butterflies and all of them have fascinating stories and life strategies. And there are over 2,500 different species in Britain. We'll be getting up close and personal with many of Britain's best moths on this special Moth Morning event at The Secret Campsite. The event will start with a short illustrated talk by Sussex naturalist Michael Blencowe all about the moths of Sussex. We'll have some coffee and crumpets, tea and toast too. Then we'll open up the moth traps and see who we have captured overnight. We'll learn how to identify the different species, hear all about their weird and wonderful lives, get a few photos and release them. If you'd like to turn this event into a real wild night out you can choose to stay over at the campsite the night before.

Come and be part of our wolf pack - we can find ourselves holding a lot in life and it can be easy to forget to fill our own cups. The Wolf Pack is a nurturing women's singing circle that offers a moment in your month where the pace can slow down and you can be the one being held. Numbers for my circles are kept small to allow for a fully immersive, connected, nurturing and therapeutic experience. While this isn't a therapy group, as a psychotherapist I hold all my circles in a way that is informed by my training, knowledge and many years of experience and there is always a therapeutic element that you can lean into should you wish. It is a space where you are welcome to arrive as you are, connect in with yourself and then check in to the circle with a few words, if you feel like it. Each circle will be a bit different, but will always be set around a theme (for example rest, belonging, nurture, celebration etc) and will involve some gentle movement, lots of singing and some time in ritual or silence with blankets and relaxing oil for your hands. The Wolf Pack circle invites you to be really present with yourself and the harmonies we will create together. The songs we sing will be a cappella heart songs sung in 2,3 or 4 part harmony. I will teach everything by ear - all abilities are welcome. This circle is held in some beautiful ancient woodland and we will be around a fire for some of the evening. There is shelter if we need it and I will bring hot water, teas and blankets. This circle is for women only. Information Source: Singing Roots | eventbrite

Each piece gets fired twice, the first to vitrify the clay and the second to be glazed. The pieces will then be returned back to Radical Giving for collection within 4 weeks. All levels and abilities welcome.
