About this event

Experience the haunting sound and the thrill of an early morning hide visit with a warden. Take a seat in our hide and see the mere as it's packed full of migrating birds, watching as the sun rises and thousands of pink-footed geese set off, then finish the experience off with a full English breakfast in our Mere Side Café.

What to expect:

  • Three mornings: 3 October 6:30am, 10 October 6:45am, 24 October 7am
  • “£22.50 per person”, and “This ticket does not include admission to Martin Mere”
  • “As this event requires participants to sit quietly for a few hours as to not spook the birds on the mere, we recommend that this event is not suitable for any children under the age of 8”
  • “Please arrive on our car park at least 5 minutes before the event” — you will be arriving in dark conditions, so carefully follow the wardens
  • Book online in advance; “As this is a standalone event, the cost will apply to WWT members too”
