WWT Slimbridge helps Women’s Institutes Celebrate their Centenary Year

27 November 2015

WWT Slimbridge, a mere youngster at only 69 years old, is celebrating Women’s Institutes (WI) great achievement of reaching the grand old age of 100 by giving them a birthday treat - a great group day out at Slimbridge at a reduced admission price, including a cream tea.

WWT Slimbridge is helping local WI’s groups mark their special birthday by letting them get close to spectacular wetland wildlife in their area at the beautiful reserve. Whilst at Slimbridge, WI groups can also hand feed exotic birds, watch nature’s breathtaking spectacles from cosy hides, listen to commentated feeds by wardens, take in stunning scenery and lots more. Finally, they can round off their day with a traditional WI favourite, a delicious cream tea. The whole experience is for just £9, a potential saving of up to £5!.

Gary Haseley-Nejrup, Centre Manager said:

“We’re delighted to support our local WI’s by introducing this birthday offer.

“The WI does fantastic work in the area, including campaigning on issues that affect their local communities such as the environment.

“This is an area we are also passionate about and hope that by encouraging WI groups to visit us in their centenary year they can see close up how we help to protect wildlife in their local community.’

WWT Slimbridge is an unforgettable place to visit for all groups, every season, 364 days a year. It offers a wide range of benefits for every type of group including:
