Holiday hours in December
Arundel Wetland Centre is open every day in December, except for Christmas Day on Dec 25.
Visitors can enjoy vibrant family days out or peaceful moments grounded in nature, away from the hustle and bustle, this holiday season.
For Christmas Eve on Tues 24 Dec we are closing at bit earlier - at 2 pm - to allow our staff ample time to get home to family and friends to celebrate the season.
Our WWT gift shop and the Water’s Edge Café are open every day except Christmas Day, too. The gift shop is open until 2 pm on Christmas Eve to buy any last minute stocking stuffers. Have someone who’s hard to buy for or want to top up that present? Check out our WWT gift cards now on sale in the shop. Or you may choose to give the wild gift of nature with a WWT membership to visit all year around. The hope of spring, the joy of long summer days and the spectacles of winter. What a gift!
The Water’s Edge Café will close at 1.30 pm on Christmas Eve and is open on the days our visitor centre is open. Try new treats like a slice of decorated Victoria sponge, gingerbread biscuits, and vegan mince pies. For a festive treat ask for a flavoured shot in your latte!
Wetland Discovery Boat Safaris
Our Sail to Santa event takes place on Dec 7 & 8 and Dec 14 &15. Our Wetland Discovery Boat Safari will be closed to other visitors on those weekend dates. On Thurs 26 Dec Christmas Eve the last boat leaves at 1.30 pm as the wetland centre closes at 2 pm.
Connect with nature this holiday when you pop in to see your favourite Dalmatian pelicans, visit the hides in search of perching kingfishers or search the skies for marsh harriers arriving in the late afternoon. Thanks for supporting WWT through your visits this year.
