Sholing Valleys Study Centre

Spring Fayre: Our biggest event of the year

Our date for 2025 is Saturday May 17th, and is set to be a fun day out for all the family.

There's lots to enjoy! From having a go on the bouncy castle, learning about nature from local conservation groups, or trying a craft activity. All whilst helping us raise much needed funds.

Join us for the Dark Side 

Sholing Valleys Study Centre presents a free evening of nocturnal activities.
This event is part of the Urban Wild festival run by Southampton National Park City.

Times: 16:30 until 21:30

You're invited to learn about some of the wildlife that comes out when the sun goes down.

Monthly volunteer conservation experiences

Come along on the last Friday or Sunday of the month and learn about how we can help support nature.

Tasks include a range of activities that all help improve the site. From litter picking, and tree planting, to hedge laying training. 

We want our volunteers to learn something new, and enjoy themselves.
