Flirty Nature: Valentine’s Day at the Linnean Society

Investigate the weird and wonderful world of romance and sex in nature with a tour, a quiz and some drinks.

Join us at the Linnean Society — birthplace of the theory of evolution — for a St. Valentine’s event like no other, ideal for everyone, regardless of your relationship status!

There will be no cute critters or pastel florals at this tour. Instead, we will investigate the weird and wonderful world of romance and sex in nature. Learn about the kinky world of plant reproduction, the wild intimate lives of animals, and the romantic lives of some of the people in our archives, including Carl Linnaeus himself. Put your knowledge to the test with an intimate nature quiz, and relax afterwards with a glass of wine in our library.

This is an in-person event for adults (18+) only. The event will be held at the Society premises in Burlington House, and will last for 120 minutes.
