Wildlife Photography at Bushy Park

Everyone has a camera or camera phone these days, and whether at home or off on a big trip, we love to take pictures of ourselves, landscapes, buildings and animals.

If you feel you'd like to take better wildlife shots with your camera, this workshop led by professional wildlife photographer Nick Dale is perfect for you – and a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning!

Based in Bushy Park, you will be surrounded by endless wonderful photo opportunities during the practical element of the session. Keeping the group numbers small ensures lots of one-to-one time with Nick, so whether it's technical knowledge, familiarity with your equipment or rules of composition, these can all be covered over coffee in the Pheasantry Café in the Woodland Gardens at the start of your workshop.

Please bring along your camera and if you do have a tripod or long lens, they'll be useful to have with you.

Relationships can be Murder

What makes two young men from good homes kidnap and kill an innocent child?

This true story is told in musical flashbacks across 34 years following this heinous crime in Chicago in 1924.

Reminiscent of the more recent (1993) Jamie Bulger case here in the UK which shocked the nation, the authorities in America strived to understand what had made Nathan Leopold follow his friend Richard Loeb to commit this vile act. Set in a 1958 parole board hearing room the story gradually unfolds with moving songs and soliloquies.
