A drop in event at The Cut. Explore the wonders of camouflage in nature. Many wild creatures hide in plain sight with cunning camouflages and disguises. Others pretend to be something else – something dangerous or poisonous. Learn how to disguise yourself so you can disappear! It’s almost an invisibility cloak!

About the event
Bring clothing which will blend in with the garden here – grass, flowerbeds, trees, wooden buildings or stone walls – and see if you can vanish when we come to find you. There will be plenty of costumes and props available for you to try out. Join in a big game of hide & seek! You could blend in, pretend to be something boring, merge with the shadows… Let’s see what you can come up with, who will survive, and who will be eaten by predators! There will be a prize for the best camouflage or disguise.
