If you’re running low on bird seed or are thinking about coming in to get your Christmas cards soon, please be aware that, on Thursday 27 September, our shop will be shutting at 2 pm so that the retail team can carry out a full stock take. Everything we sell must be counted individually which is going to take quite a while to complete, so we’re closing a couple of hours early to avoid the staff having to count too late into the night.
The stock take will not affect any of the other visitor centre facilities. The shop will open at 9.30 am as normal, allowing access to the café, nature trail and toilets, and when it shuts at 2 pm, the small side gate in the courtyard will be unlocked to give entry to the nature trail. There will still be plenty of opportunities to have your tea, cake and lunch in the café which will close at 4.30 pm.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time.
