We have a variety of wildlife events during the year, in addition to our daily Farm Tour and Ice Cream Experience.
 Dawn Chorus Walk Monday 4th May 4.30am
Join us at 4.30am on Monday 4th May 2009... yes, that's just before it gets light, to walk the nature trails and listen to the fabulous chorus of the birds as they get going for the day. We'll be out for a couple of hours so you'll need warm clothes, binoculars might be useful if you have them, but really it's about listening to the birds signing to each other, reminding neighbours of their territories, and trying to attract a mate. We'll return to the centre for a light breakfast. Please book a place in advance: 01557 814040 or e-mail
