Come to Downy duckling days!

Every year the Slimbridge Duckery opens
its doors for just 10 days glorious to celebrate the joys of the duckling season...

Running from 11-4 daily from the 28th May - 5th June (and henceforth once daily until mid June) the tours will allow you to witness a behind the scenes view of Duckery life. Watch the process from egg to adult with candling demonstrations, hatching observations and a thoroughly

special view of the ducklings!

With the busiest May in memory the Duckery is simple burgeoning with fluffy new life, so pop in to Slimbridge during the coming week and book on to one of our free tours. This can be achieved through the bookings desk adjacent the shop (please note that spaces cannot be pre-booked and are finite in number. Come early to avoid disappointment!)
