As well as our conservation and monitoring work we aim to entertain and educate our members and the general public. To this end, we hold weekly guided walks, birdwatching classes in the winter evenings, illustrated talks about wildlife near and far (See Activities) and educational courses (See Youth & Education), etc. We also have special events like open days, optics demos, Xmas fairs, Raffles etc. See the calendar below.
Book tickets to our events via our Ticket Tailor:
Our activities are open to all. They are designed so that individuals come along to one off talks, walks or classes, but most people soon become regulars.
