Wild about the Wensum at Pensthorpe Natural Park
Wild about the Wensum at Pensthorpe Natural Park
Wildlife & Nature Event, Sun 12 May 2019, £3
Details
This will be the 13th annual Wild about the Wensum event, run by Pensthorpe Conservation Trust and will be bigger and better than ever!
Since the first event in 2006, we have introduced and shared this small part of the Wensum Valley to more than 25,000 people. Our aim is to encourage visitors that may not have otherwise understood the importance, diversity and wider relationship of the Wensum to their local landscape. It is a major achievement that so many people leave with a better knowledge of the numerous organisations that work tirelessly to promote, protect and enhance this rather special river.
Important information regarding the event:
Day tickets cost £3 per person (online and on the day)
Under 3’s and Pensthorpe Annual Members are FREE
There will be an additional charge for our indoor play area, Hootz House, which is £2 per child with one free adult per child. Additional adults who wish to enter Hootz House will be £2 per adult.
We will be running hourly time slots in Hootz House starting at 10am, with the last slot finishing at 5pm.
Parking is FREE
Unfortunately, unless they are assistance dogs, dogs cannot enter the main reserve.
The event will run from 10am – 5pm

Notes
Although not all of our reserve is accessible via wheel chair given the nature of the attraction, special care has been taken to provide pathways and routes with a firm surface and wheel chair friendly access, these are highlighted on our Park Guide. Every attention has been paid to accessability for all abilities and ages and our wardens and staff are happy to reserve wheel chairs and assist wherever possible
