It is dusk. You have been following a trail through breathtaking woodland in the depths of the Devonshire countryside. As you were guided along, new smells, sounds, sights and textures brought your senses to the point of bursting.

The magical stillness among the trees has transported you far beyond the busyness of the world you left behind. Now you pause and rest, almost instinctively. The unmistakable aroma of campfire cooking drifts past, you can see a wisp of smoke above the trees, revealing the location of what you intuitively realise is your home for the night...

Now the scene is set for a night of truly unforgettable experiences designed to educate and inspire you, drawing you closer to the heart of Devon’s wild country.

You have just begun a Wild Night Out...!

In the course of the next 20 hours you may find yourself tuning in to the chatter of bats feeding, or listening to the haunting call of a late night predator. You could be sampling a heady cocktail of woodland smells or feasting your eyes on the mesmerising patterns found in nature.

Before bedding down for a night under canvas, imagine yourself gazing up at the stars or soaking up the magic of stories by firelight. These are just some of the experiences that make a Wild Night Out a night to remember.

For the duration of the overnight camp, you will be accompanied by an expert Wildlife Guide, who, with the help of a trained team, will make your time with us both wild and comfortable.

The delicious meals are cooked for you over an open fire. Wherever possible we use local and organic produce maintaining our commitment to local sustainability.

All food is provided - just bring your tent*, sleeping bag and torch!
* 2-3 person tents are available for hire at £5/tent if you don’t have your own.

We regularly run private events throughout the season so if you already know of a group of friends, relations or colleagues (from 12 to 25 people) who would like to try a Wild Night Out then contact WildWise to let us know your requirements.

….thank you all for a truly wonderful experience - Mandy and Mark, Berks.
           
I had a great night and came away inspired, excited and keen to spend more nights out in the woods - Dominic Parette, Ipswich.

It isn’t simply a look at the natural world - tasting, smelling, touching and listening are the other ingredients of an 18 hour adventure that leaves participants both physically exhausted and mentally invigorated - Owen Jones, Evening Herald.

So perhaps I had changed...I had been stopped in my tracks by my first sight of a skylark.. I had experienced Devon’s beautiful wilderness in ways I had never know before - Sunday Telegraph.

Just the moonlit sights and sounds of a nature reserve in one of the wildest parts of Devon and a chance to escape the frenetic pace of modern day living - The Guardian.

Many, many thanks for organising a superb eighteen hours, I could fill pages with anecdotes of how effective the weekend was. Thank you for opening our eyes; for making us feel guilty about the wasteful speed of our lives and for giving us a new perspective and challenge - Anne Brandse, Surrey.

The chance to explore the environment as a family, completely removed from our normal frenetic lives. An extremely well run, thoughtful event with a highly talented leader and hard working, caring volunteers - S A Rosie, Great Witley.

It was a totally magical time...the word ‘enjoy’ is inadequate for the very special experience that you provide - Ruth Shepherd, Newton Abbot.

I can only describe the night as magical - just the kind of experience that everyone should have to encourage a ‘closer to nature’ feeling...I returned home on a high which lasted several days and I know we all took home memories that will last a life-time - Su Beswick, Plymouth.
