ReNature Festival 2025: Sunset Nature Safari
26 June 2025
8.45pm to 10.15pm
Witness the breathtaking sunset at Iping Common (which is also a Dark Sky Discovery Site) and be the first to greet the nocturnal wonders as they emerge at dusk. Join SDNPA Ranger Jake Barnes and Queen of Darkness Elinor for an unforgettable evening, embracing the darkness! We are hoping to encounter churring nightjars and possibly other nocturnal wildlife such as bats, owls, moths. If the night is clear, we will also do some stargazing. Perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Don’t miss this magical dusk adventure!
The walk will be approximately 1.5km and we’ll be setting off as the sun is setting so please bring a torch and binoculars if you have some. We’ll follow undulating paths on the heath so please wear sturdy footwear and note the ground is uneven in places.
Meeting point – Iping Common Car Park, West Sussex (near to Midhurst) – ///drizzly.work.volcano
Terrain: Some unstable tracks, please wear sturdy footwear.
Distance: ~1.5km
No dogs please. We recommend attendees wear suitable clothing for the weather as it can be cool at night. We also recommend long trousers, closed-toe shoes and bring a torch and possibly insect repellent!
