We’ve long since said goodbye to our summer visitors and have now started to welcome the thousands of ducks and geese that will spend the winter here. Many of you know how exciting the reserve can be for wildlife enthusiasts during this time, and this year we want to shout about it!

On Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th November, we are celebrating Pulborough Brooks at its wintery best by offering free entry to all. Wrap up warm and head out for walk on the wetland trail to see the brooks teeming with life, then enjoy a bowl of homemade soup or indulge in a slice of cake back in the café. Perhaps you would prefer to be shown around the reserve by one of our guides instead of going it alone? If so, you can book on to our guided walk on the Sunday, running from 1.30 pm – 3 pm (limited spaces available). Alongside free entry to the reserve, we will have an optics event running in the visitor centre, giving you a chance to get some expert advice on our range of binoculars and telescopes.

If you’re not into your walking around or eating cake (gasp!) then maybe our craft workshop may tempt you? On Saturday 25th, we’re running an “Inspired by wildlife” printing workshop from 1.30 pm – 4 pm and there are a few spaces still available. You’ll learn to carve your own wildlife-inspired stamp and use it to print a tote bag, wrapping paper and gift tags to take home—a perfect gift for a loved one this Christmas!
