Join us and expert Robert Homan to enter into the world of butterflies, moths and moth trapping.

Help us release moths back into the wild which will have been trapped on Cleeve Common the night before. These beautiful creatures are often misunderstood and overlooked. This is a super chance to get up close and personal with these winged beauties and learn more about them.

After the release head out onto Cleeve Common with sweep nets to see if we can find any day flying moths and butterflies.

Suitable for ages 5 and over. Please dress for the weather on the day and bring water if the weather is hot.

£2.50 per person. Please book a ticket for every member of your family or group attending aged 5 and above. Younger siblings welcome free of charge.  Booking is essential: click here.

Join us and Dr Alice Kennedy from Gloucestershire Geology Trust on a fascinating journey into the past.

Suitable for ages 4 and over. Please dress for the weather on the day and bring water if the weather is hot.

Join with us and Alice Kennedy of Gloucestershire Geological Trust and discover all on a walk around the Common. Bring suitable refreshment.

This walk is stile-free, though with some rocky paths and ups and downs! Lots of work has been done on the Common to keep visible the key features of a site which was part of the development of modern geology. The history revealed does much to explain why the Cotswolds are what they are today.

Booking not required. For more details please follow this link. http://www.cotswoldsaonb.org.uk/guided_walks/cleeve-common-rocks/

This walk is suitable for adults, we will be running a children's fossil hunt in the school holidays with Alice. Keep an eye out for those details soon!
