– First Sunday of the month – Birdwatching for Beginners – Meet Visitor Centre (10am-12 noon)
Please Note:
Almost invariably held on the first Sunday of the month (meet in the courtyard at 10am – but please book with reception if you intend to come).
For Severn Trent’s spring programme, it’s often sensible to book a place with the visitor centre (on 01629 540696).
