Our Coast, Our Sea - Wildlife galore at the Alnwick Playhouse

18 June 2010

Anybody wanting to find out more about wildlife both local and global should head to Alnwick Playhouse for 7.30pm on Friday 25th June.

Northumberland Wildlife Trust will be on hand to offer expert advice on local wildlife whilst Nick Baker, presenter of Channel 5’s ‘Weird Creatures’ and the previous presenter of BBC1’s The Really Wild Show and CBBC’s Springwatch will talking about the weird and wonderful creatures he has encountered on his travels.

In the show, Nick takes the audience on a personal journey that has taken him to some of the harshest and most extreme locations, from the high elevations of the Andes to bring you the baggy frogs of Lake Titicaca, to the darkest, dingiest depths of Slovenia’s caves to meet the Olm possibly the source of the original dragon.
He will tell stories about discovering, meeting and filming some of his favourite weird creatures. As well as some candid and revealing behind the scenes trials and tribulations, he will also explain why these animals appear weird to us and how their strange looks and habits are actually born of an evolutionary need to tackle some unique habitats and situations.
Cost: £14.00 adult, £13.00 concessions and £10.00 children.
