You will be spoilt for choice at the Arboretum this Autumn!

Buzzing! Moth Night

Be amazed, be amused, be afraid ... It’s Buzzing! The evening begins with Buzzing!, a fun multimedia show celebrating moths and other insects in poems and projected images, with live string musical interludes. Then, after dark, we move outside to see how many different species of moth we can trap.
