Halloween Wildlife Explorer walk with Wild New Forest

Join us for a family-friendly Halloween Wildlife Explorer Walk as we uncover the hidden, and sometimes spooky, side of the New Forest after dark!

Our expert guides will lead you through ancient woodland and open glades in search of fungi, owls, deer, bats, and other seasonal wildlife — with a fun Halloween twist.

Along the way, we’ll explore ghostly fungi, listen for owl calls, share eerie forest folklore, and set younger explorers a fun ‘spooky nature quest’.

Expect a magical mix of wildlife discovery and atmospheric storytelling, returning under the stars with warm memories (and a few tingles!).
