Make the most of the shorter winter days with a guided walk around Minsmere’s beautiful and varied habitats. Our guides will look for huge flocks of colourful ducks on the Scrape, search for more elusive woodland and reedbed birds, and maybe even find a few mammals or fungi to add to the variety. No dogs, except registered assistance dogs. What3Words: https://w3w.co/deep.showering.bombshell . All ticket prices include entry fees for non members and a hot drink in the cafe after the walk.

Come and see the Festival, from 14 December to 6 January (Twelfth Night). There are always a variety of trees: some are witty, others look good, some are heart-warming. All are interesting!

With instruments, clapping, jogging and action rhymes, for babies and toddlers of all ages. Free event, no booking required.

With the early music trio Hexachordia. A programme of mirth and merriment for the festive season, revealing what Christmas and New Year was like for folk at all levels of society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Featuring Hexachordia’s trademark blend of instrumental music, song and narrative, they will bring to life the winter season of times gone by. The trio play a range of authentic copies of old instruments including the gittern, vielle, crumhorn, lute, viol, recorder and bagpipes. Many of today’s seasonal carols have their origins in the Medieval and Tudor eras, and so even if the instruments Hexachordia plays them on may be unfamiliar, some of the tunes will be known to many.
