Looking at a binocular upgrade? Or perhaps you're looking to buy your first ever pair? Whatever your need, Trish from Viking Optical will be here with a range of optics including scopes and binoculars from a variety of brands for you to test out and purchase on the day.There will be the opportunity for you to ask questions about the products and work out the best option for you!

We will have a selection of drop-in sessions and booked time-slots. If you'd like to book a time slot, please email info.washington@wwt.org.uk with your preferred time (half hour increments between 10am and 4pm) and any products you're interested in trying.

A range of optics are always available in the shop should people not be able to make it to this event. Please speak to our retail team at any time or our optics volunteer (Thursdays and Sundays) and try any of our range.
