SUITABLE FOR

Everyone

An explorer is determined to follow in Darwin's footsteps and see and find what he would. The best time to do this is at 12pm, the time Darwin would walk the sand walk every day.

Join our explorer and see if you can find some of the bugs, worms and birds he discovered while walking the Sand walk.

This event involves some walking and may include some stairs or uneven terrain. Part of this tour takes place outside, so please wear suitable footwear and dress appropriately for the weather.

Bookings for this event open on this page on Monday 20 April.
