Biofluorescent Night Walk with Queer Nature Club
Tuesday 27th October 2026, 6.30-8pm
A relaxed, wheelchair accessible evening walk / wheel, exploring the queer and curious world of biofluorescence, with Daniel Baker-Wells, artist, filmmaker and founder of Queer Nature Club South West.
Biofluorescence is an extraordinary hidden realm of glowing colours. It is abundant in nature and can be seen by many insects and animals.
We'll be exploring the local area around Westlands Entertainment Venue (along wheelchair accessible paths) to look for biofluorescence with special UV torches.
A relaxed, informal, creative session, with no previous experience required.
Pay What You Can (to support the Club) & Free Places Available
