Wildlife Weekend

This May, pop down to the priory for a spring celebration of all creatures great and small. This year, we're egg-specially excited about winged wildlife! We're thrilled that the amazing team from Barleylands will be bringing a variety of their feathery friends along for you to meet and greet, with a special flying display at 1pm.

Throughout the day, you can have your face painted like your favourite animal, get creative making a critter craft to take home with you, visit stalls from local organisations to find out how we can care for the wildlife around us and try your hand at some silly, seasonal games and kids activities.

Feeling peckish? Have a close encounter of the cheesy kind with an amazingly oozey toastie from Melt, who will be serving up food including grilled toasties, baps and fresh pastries as well as a range of hot and cold drinks.

We also suspect that some sneaky seagulls have been causing all sorts of mischief at the priory, so make sure you help us complete the scavenger hunt during your visit to solve the puzzle and win a prize!

Under 3's go free! Prebooking for this event is essential.

The event starts at 11am, and finishes at 3pm, on both the Saturday and the Sunday. Arrive any time from 11am.
