Barrow Gurney and Flax Bourton Churches

🦅 Don't miss this fascinating evening exploring the hidden lives of one of Britain's most extraordinary birds.

Swifts: Life on the Wing will reveal how these remarkable birds migrate thousands of miles from Africa, spend almost their entire lives in the air, and return year after year to nest in our communities.

Join experts Helen Wood and Kate Thomas from Clevedon Swifts to discover how local people are helping reverse the dramatic decline of swifts across the UK—and how you can make a difference too.

🎟️ Tickets are just £5 (£0 for under 18s) and places are limited.
Whether you're a keen birdwatcher, nature lover, or simply curious about the wildlife around us, this promises to be an inspiring and eye-opening evening.
