Immerse yourself in his show Watery Notes to understand how valuable and essential water is for all life on earth and our need to conserve it.

Richard Osmond – Pond Dipping

From 10am to 5pm there will be a mobile science lab on Coach House Lawn! Go and catch some thingies in the Lake and bring them back to the Lab where Dr. Richard Osmond, an ecologist and a great enthusiast of natural history and education will magnify then and display on a large screen. The Lab is a magic trailer full of equipment linked to microscopes and computers – a giant projection screen will enlarge all the tiny creatures that are being examined and make monsters out of the mini-beasts caught in the Staunton Lake.
