Into the Wild presents Nature Room 101 LIVE

Sure, we all adore the natural world... but sometimes it's good to recognise that we can't love it ALL. 

 

Ryan Dalton and Nadia Shaikh are the hosts of the wildlife and conservation podcast Into the Wild. In this special live recording, they will be joined by expert guests Lizzie Daly and Lirayen Valencia for Nature Room 101 as they discuss their least favourite aspects of three wildlife-themed topics. Whether it be a boring bird, a horrible habitat, the worst weather, or an irritating insect — shots will be fired and rants will be had. But with the help of an audience vote, only one will end up in the Nature Room 101 vault for good.

Tickets £10. Please make sure to book your tickets in advance.
