About the event

Fancy learning a bit more about our wonderful wetlands? Join us as we head on an activity filled walk to spot wildlife at the reserve and learn all about the wildlife that calls Summer Leys home. We'll have bird bingo and spotter sheets as well as games to play as we go around!

This walk is open to all ages but does require a bit of walking (we will likely do the full loop of the reserve, which is approx 2 miles) so may not be suitable for very young children.

Please be aware our visitor centre will be closed for the winter months on this date (the toilets will still be available for use).

IMPORTANT: Car parking charges now apply for Summer Leys. Parking for members of the Wildlife Trust BCN is FREE - Members MUST register their vehicles to access free parking, for more information please visit here.
