The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) South Wilts Local Group is running a Peregrine ‘Date with Nature’ in the Cathedral Close.

The event which runs on several dates in June is to share some of the wonders of Peregrine Falcons which have nested on the Cathedral Tower once again this year.

Their ‘Date with Nature’ gazebo will be situated near the Cathedral's Cloisters entrance which will have pictures of and information about Peregrines. RSPB South Wilts volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and help you to see amazing, close-up views of the adult and juvenile Peregrines through high-spec telescopes.

The gazebo and telescopes will be set up on the following dates from 11am until 4pm:

Wednesday 4th June
Thursday 5th June
Saturday 7th June
Saturday 14th June
Monday 16th June to Saturday 21st June
