Hever Castle in Edenbridge and RSPB team up for February half term events

Understand which birds belong to the Queen, investigate animal footprints and tracks and feed the birds and ducks.

Build bug houses, take a guided walk to learn more about natural and man-made habitats and join an RSPB workshop.

These will be some of the activities on offer at Hever Castle this February in its half term event Living With Nature.

Following on from the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch and current Big School Birdwatch -families are being invited to the historic castle between February 10 and 18 to enjoy this event celebrating nature which is aimed at school aged children.

RSPB volunteers will be offering guided strolls, families can take on wildlife detective walks to investigate animal tracks and there will be lessons about nature throughout history.

Most events are free to talk part in, but building a bug house to encourage creepy crawlies does incur an additional charge and bird and duck food to feed Hever's feathered residents is 50p per-bag.
