Warwickshire Wildlife Talks with Simon Watts

Simon Watts is back at The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum on Friday 13 November, part of his ongoing series of Warwickshire wildlife talks. He's a local, award-winning wildlife filmmaker and a lifelong naturalist, and these aren't your usual slide-and-lecture affairs. He describes them as live-narrated, fully interactive and richly illustrated, so it's as much about the conversation as the footage.

If his name sounds familiar, it's probably because you've already seen his work without knowing it. He's the filmmaker behind the immersive films shown in the museum's previous exhibitions, Collecting Coventry and Unearth the Palaeoverse, and he does commissions for the RSPB and The Wildlife Trusts. He also provides footage to Springwatch and Chris Packham, so he's used to making the natural world work on screen. Each month's talk is different, so if you've been to one before, this will be new ground.

It runs from 1.00pm to 2.00pm, which puts it right in the middle of the day rather than an evening slot. Tickets are £9 per person, or £5 if you have GoCV, and that includes the museum admission fee, so you can stick around and see the galleries before or after. Places are limited to 50 per session, and there's a waiting list if it fills up, so booking online is essential if you want to make sure you get a seat.
