Hey all!
Just a quick reminder of the last few events we have running at Rye Meads this year.
We're counting down to Father Christmas visiting the reserve on Saturday and Sunday, and all the other festivities that will be going on all weekend. Make sure you come down and take a break from Christmas shopping!
We will be running natural Christmas craft sessions in the classrooms during both Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st afternoons where you can make pretty, natural tree and Christmas decorations with our very own elves. Perfect for some personalised Christmas gifts. Santa will be hiding in his special grotto out on the reserve between 2 and 4 pm both days and you can pop in and see him, spot some wildlife, and get a present! Finally, our reserve guide Andy will be running the regular wildlife walk starting at 2 pm on Saturday, and seeing what winter nature he can find!
Rye Meads will be closed on Christmas and Boxing day only as normal, and all services will be resumed on Saturday 27th when Lee and Anne will be running hide watch between 2 - 4 pm.
Finally, don't forget to join us to shake off the Christmas excess on Friday 2nd January for our long winter walk. This will start and end at the reserve, but be offsite on public footpaths so dogs are very welcome. Remember to wrap up warmly, bring lunch, and we'll enjoy mince pies and warm drinks back at the centre when we finish!
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
