The Badger Watch at Bosence Meadow is organised by David and Sarah Chapman.  They offer more than just a Badger-Watch, giving a short tour of the smallholding on which they usually keep chickens, sheep and pigs.  You might also see a variety of other natural history typically including adders and slow worms but anything is possible.

Admission fee:   Adults   £6  Children    £5.00  (Special deals for families with two or more children, phone for details). 

Tours are organised from May to September and typically start at around 8pm (a little earlier in September) and the badger watch will end at around 10.00pm but times vary.  Group sizes will be small so arrangements can often be adapted to suit your requirements. 

Video cameras are acceptable on any evening but photography evenings will only be arranged by prior agreement.  If you have a dog then it can be exercised in a restricted area but must be left in your car.
