‘A Walk on the Wild Side of Christmas!’

On Monday December 15 Ian Rotherham will give an evening illustrated talk at Lees Hall Golf Club. It is free to attend, and you don’t need to book but just turn up. Open to all both from the Graves Park area and across the wider region.

There will be a Christmas-themed talk on:

‘A Walk on the Wild Side of Christmas!’

This will be a mix of the birds and wildlife to be seen around Christmas-time and a look at Christmas traditions and how different plants and animals have been used to portray these. We will introduce some pre-Victorian origins and how the Victorians used these to create some of our best loved images today.

This pre-Christmas evening is our last event of the autumn season so do come along and join us. There may be some seasonal nibbles and perhaps a Christmas-themed quiz as well.

Arrive from 6.30 pm, the talk to start at 7 pm.

The venue also has a bar……

The Graves Park and Local Area Adapting to Climate Change project began in 2023. It is run by South Yorkshire Biodiversity Research Group with funding from the J.G. Graves Charitable Trust.
