Reimagine the wonder

Adventures worth leaving your nest for

While other parts of the natural world hibernate, wetlands come to life in winter as thousands of migrating birds make our centres their home.

So grab your best bobble hat, pick up a Quentin Blake ‘Drawn to Water’ illustrated guide, and get exploring.

From a morning walk with the satisfying crunch of ice underfoot to a peaceful spot where you can get closer to amazing winter wildlife, there’s always something new to discover at this time of year.

Let your creativity run wild with wintery art activities for all ages and abilities, inspired by Quentin Blake's distinctive drawings. Or hone your photography skills surrounded by glistening frost and skies filled with beating wings.

And when you’ve had your fill of the cold, pop into our café and warm up with a hot drink or tasty bite to eat.
