We're really excited to offer a range of events this Easter Holidays!

Bring the whole family down for our Spring Trail and Pond Dipping information below (don't forget to grab yourself a coffee or an ice cream!)

Take part in pond dipping and discover the creatures lurking in the hidden depths of the waters - from the tiny water flea to the mighty dragonfly nymph, the ponds of Rye Meads are full of a variety of amazing animals! Available from 10am-4pm. No need to book, just turn up on the day (Sunday - Thursday)!

All pond dipping equipment is provided for £3 per kit, and your pond dipping session will last approximately 25 minutes. Please do not bring your own nets as you won't be able to use them in our pond. This is a self-led activity.

Take part in our brand new family trail  to put a SPRING back in your step after a cold and dark winter! 

Learn more about how Spring encourages nature to wake up, spot the colours bursting through and challenge the family on our balance beam. And don’t forget to keep an eye out for the elusive water voles that are calling Rye Meads their home! There’s also a special craft for you to make and take home. No need to book, just show up. The trail is available Sunday – Thursday (we’re closed Friday and Saturday), our opening times are 9am – 5pm.  

£2 per trail (there is also a £4 car parking charge for non RSPB members).
