What is a Mini Exped?
Wild Intrigue Mini Expeds bring a touch of wildness back into your week. Specially crafted by Wild Intrigue, each event brings the best of The North of England’s incredible wildlife, pioneering places, inspiring people and delicious treats into a collection of memorable experiences for you to enjoy.
Each Mini Exped is carefully created with nature and people in mind. Nature-friendly landowners and local sustainable producers are an important part of these memorable experiences.
As a social enterprise, we reinvest a percentage of ticket sales to support local nature and people. Following our 2022 season, we reinvested over £10K to conservation organisations, sustainable businesses and nature-minded landowners, thanks to those who booked our Mini Expeds and wildlife photography hides.
So come and rewild yourself in The North of England, and support nature while you’re at it! From Dawn Chorus Discos in Newcastle City, to Osprey Watching Cruises in Northumberland and Breakfast with Red Squirrels experiences in the Lake District, our Mini Expeds are perfect for memorable family adventures, unusual dates and immersive solo escapes.
