Free event - Moth Morning at Ryton Pools Country Park

Would you like to learn more about the fascinating world of moths?

Join us on a journey where we explore the different species found in our overnight moth traps. We will look at moths in a variety of habitats and observe these beautiful creatures up close while recording all the different species we see. This event will take place frequently throughout the warmer seasons, bringing new sightings with every occasion. Over 850 moth species can be seen here!

People of all ages are welcome to attend, but please note that there is a short walk to reach the moth traps. Pre-booking is required for attendance, even though the event is free.

The rangers will meet you in the courtyard, and there is a parking charge. Payment can be made via card or phone.

Please make sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing, and keep in mind that the nearest toilet is in the Courtyard. Additionally, this event is not suitable for dogs, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
