*Event Cancelled*
Due to a confirmed case of avian influenza in our collection birds at the centre, we have had to cancel the North West Bird Watching Festival this weekend. We apologise for the disappointment we know this will cause and our team will be in touch to arrange any refunds. For the most updated information regarding our closure, please visit our website: https://buff.ly/3SZfxj6
Open from 08:00, watch the spectacle of thousands of geese leave the roost before heading for breakfast in Mere Side Café. The centre is open until 19:00 on the Saturday to watch up to 30,000 pink-footed geese return to the roost.
From guest speakers and exhibitors to photography workshops and guided reserve walks, there’s a whole range of activities for you to enjoy for a full day out from dawn till dusk.
