Join us on Sunday 4 May for National Dawn Chorus Day. Wrest Park will open at the earlier time of 4.45am for visitors to experience the dawn chorus.

Visitors can either wander around the grounds on their own or as part of a guided dawn chorus and bird spotting walk with one of our volunteer bird watchers. These Guided Walks will start at 5am and will be on a first come first served basis.

You can pick up a bird watching leaflet for a donation of £2 which offers an introduction to the amazing birds that can be seen around the grounds.
The café will be open and visitors will be able to stay on site after the walk to enjoy Wrest Park for the rest of the day.

The tour is at no additional charge. Normal admissions prices apply for non-members. Free for members.
