Step into the woods on Halloween night and watch the forest floor come alive with hidden, glowing fungi.

As the last of the light drains from the sky, head into the woods at Adel Dam nature reserve. With ultraviolet lights in hand, you’ll discover the hidden side of this Leeds nature reserve that’s completely invisible by day.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.
