Across the UK and Ireland, and online
Search our list of events at locations across the UK and Ireland, and online. If you're looking for an event or training course that is tailored for a specific audience or a particular geographic region, please see these other pages instead:
- Events and training tailored for BTO supporters in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
- Youth events and training, for young people up to the age of 25
- We also run talks and bird ID training courses throughout the year.
Using our “Region” filter
Use the Region filter to see the events that are tailored to audiences in the selected region(s).
Please note: ticking the “UK” box will show you events that are relevant to a UK-wide audience, but not events that are tailored to a more specific geographic region within the UK. For example, our Annual Conference is tailored to all our supporters regardless of their geographic location, but is held in England. This means it will appear if you tick the “UK” box, but not if you tick the “England” box (because the Annual Conference is not tailored to an English audience). Whereas the Scottish Ringers Conference is tailored to our supporters in Scotland, so it will appear if you tick the “Scotland” box, but not if you tick the “UK” box.
