All our Wetland Centres exist to fulfil founder Peter Scott’s vision of connecting people with nature, so we make it a principle that our wetlands and wildlife are accessible to everyone.
More on accessibility.
Cuppa and a cake in the café? Or a souvenir from our well-stocked gift shop? When you spend with us you are helping create a world where healthy wetland nature thrives and enriches lives.
Waterside cafe is open from 10am daily, closing at 5pm (summer) and 4pm (winter). Hot food served until 3pm.

Fully trained, on duty assistance dogs (trained by member organisations of ADUK) are welcome on site. Unfortunately we can't allow any other dogs or pets of any kind on site as our wildlife may become distressed.
Assistance dogs must be kept on their lead, under control and their harnesses must state "working or assistance dog". Please ensure any dog waste is removed. If any of our birds/animals behaviour is affected by the presence of your dog, we respectfully ask that you understand that we may have to ask you to move away from the area. Please do not leave your dog in your car whilst visiting.
