What's on in Bere Chapel

Dorset, England

The proper local stuff the big sites overlook — from open mic nights to dog shows, toddler groups to talks about local history that turn out to be more interesting than you'd think. Bere Chapel keeps its calendar surprisingly full, and we've tracked down the lot. Coffee mornings that turn into proper catch-ups. Quiz nights where the same team wins every week and everyone pretends not to mind. Craft fairs, food markets, community screenings, and workshops teaching you things you didn't know you wanted to learn. All the things that make living somewhere feel like actually living somewhere, not just sleeping there.

Biofluorescent Night Walks

Join us for a journey through a hidden world of glowing life that surrounds us all, yet very few of us have ever seen. Welcome to the world of biofluorescence, one of nature’s best-kept secrets. Biofluorescence is the absorption of light at one wavelength followed by its reemission at a different wavelength. Shine the right type of UV light on the world, and it glows back at you in a vibrant display of colour. With UV torches provided, we will venture into the darkness to witness a stunning display of biofluorescent organisms in their natural habitat. Biofluorescence turns the world of colour upside down; green leaves suddenly become a vivid red, spiders bright blue, lichen an intense orange and another, glowing side of the natural world is revealed. Over the past few years, our journey exploring biofluorescence has spanned five continents and included conversations with leading researchers, helping us piece together the broader story of this glowing natural world. A story that we can’t wait to share with you. Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the enchanting world of biofluorescence and uncover the wonders that await in the darkness. Join us for an unforgettable experience that will open your eyes to the breathtaking beauty of nature’s hidden secrets. Book your spot now and get ready for an awe-inspiring adventure! This guided walk is suitable for anyone aged 8 years and above, all children must be accompanied by an adult.
