About the event

Due to the nature of the event you will need to provide your own camera, lenses and tripod. Binoculars recommended.

Join one of our friendly guides at sunrise for a photography tour of the Spurn National Nature Reserve. With it's big skies and some of the best wildlife in the UK, it is the perfect place for a mixture of seascape and wildlife photography.

Meet our guide at 7:00am at the Spurn Discovery Centre for a welcome drink, introductions and to collect your Picnic lunch. We will then be heading South over the breach as we head down to the lighthouse.

Once at the lighthouse, we will make our way to the top for some 360-degree views and witness the sunrise over the North Sea at 08:15am. Where we should find some colourful photographic opportunities of the sun rising from the top of the lighthouse, or on the ground with the sun coming up behind the lighthouse. We will then explore the peninsula further for some more compositions and see what wildlife is available to photograph.

After some further exploration around the military installations, we will return to the Visitor Centre for a final farewell drink and cake.
