Get wild and discover the amazing world of wildlife at night. The RSPB’s Big Wild Sleepout is back for our 5th year at Fairburn Ings, giving you an exciting chance to camp out on the reserve with your whole family and join us for a nocturnal adventure.
From bats, moths and minibeasts to late night singers and marvellous mammals. You can let your imagination run free with varied and exciting daytime activities, then get up close and personal with creatures after dark.
We’ve added a hands on twist this year- learn how to make your own fire (without matches!) as part of our additional bushcraft session.
There will be plenty of fun for big kids too, with den building, night-time wildlife walks, moth trapping and late night astronomy. Gaze up at the stars, roast marshmallows over a camp fire, and immerse yourselves in nature.
Relax in the morning and share stories about what went bump in the night. Will you be lucky enough to spot a fox or a badger?
Pitch a tent, grab a torch, and get stuck in!
