Details
Are you are interested in a new pair of binoculars, or want to try a telescope, but not sure what to look for or what the numbers mean?
Then head over to Fairburn's hands on weekends, where the lovely team of staff and volunteers are waiting to give you expert advice to help you choose the right products for you.
They have a wide range of choice, and stock available to take away on the day.
These are free events, however, normal admission charges do apply for non-member visitors wanting to head around the reserve too.
The visitor centre, family trail and Lin Dike trail are accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs. Lin Dike hide was highly commended in recent Natural Environmental Biffa awards and the site was awarded Quality Assured Status in 2007.
