Join us for a BioBlitz at Calbourne Water Mill, where people of all ages can explore, discover, and celebrate local wildlife.

Drop in between 10am – 4pm to enjoy guided nature walks, hands-on activities, species’ surveys and informal wildlife spotting in a beautiful, historic setting.

An evening session will also take place on the 3rd of July, offering a chance to experience wildlife after dark.

No experience necessary – just bring your curiosity! Free to attend, with parking, a café available on site and a bus stop located just outside the site for easy access.

Booking: Free - no booking required. Free to attend, but there will be summer fair stalls and a café which people may like to use.

Age range: No age restrictions, all welcome.

A similar event aimed at young people will take place on the 5th of July.
