Hides

We’re pleased that our hides continue to be open for your visit!

Here’s a summary:

In line with Government recommendations, we ask that all visitors, unless exempt, please continue to wear a face covering in our hides. Our teams will be doing the same.

As our hides can quickly become busy at peak times, seating continues to be set apart to ensure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable visit. Please be mindful of other peoples’ space.

You'll spot that we've still got maximum numbers signposted at the entrance to busy hides, Draper and Kingfisher Hub, to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience, so please consider the amount of time you dwell in them on busy days, to allow everyone the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful wildlife in comfort here. If you arrive at the hide and it is full then please wait outside until someone moves on or call back to it later.

Please continue to use the hand sanitiser provided on entry to the hides.

July is a fantastic month for spotting all sorts of wonderful wildlife from the hides and around the trails here. Don’t forget to let us know what you spot.

We can’t wait to see you!
