In partnership with Bristol Water
Join the Festival of Nature and Bristol Water to explore the sights and sounds of Chew Valley Lake, and discover an internationally important site for wildlife just minutes from Bristol. Peer down the telescope and see how many species of birds you can find, get a closer view of the aquatic life lurking beneath the lake surface and check out what bugs are hiding in the undergrowth!
With stalls from the likes of Avon Wildlife Trust, National Trust and Lakeside Optics, and a full programme of wildlife walks, guided tours and hands-on activities, there’s something for all ages. Meet the experts, find out where your water comes from, or just relax and take a stroll along the lakeshore. Get your binoculars at the ready!
