So to start for all you photography fanatics, here’s a chance to get up close and personal with some of Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden’s finest inhabitants and guests, discover the rich wildlife and elective mix of nature, with many watercourses running through the natural environment.

Please bring your own camera and telephoto lens. Course led by professional photographer Peter Mallett. There will be tea/coffee and biscuits available from 1pm in the tearoom; it costs £40 per person and £35 Fairhaven members. Booking is essential so call 01603 270449.
