The Trust and partner Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is giving people the chance to discover this enchanting Carrickfergus woodland by twilight.

Those who do so will be able to make their own lantern from recycled materials and then venture into the wood, sprinkled with fairy lights, for a magical evening. Toast marshmallows by the campfire, enjoy tales from renowned storyteller Liz Weir, and feast your eyes upon some magnificent owls which will be visiting courtesy of Mantella, an environmental education service.
