Nature's Reach Christmas and New Year Opening Times

We're happy to say we're open over much of Christmas and New Year but our elves will be having a little break, so please take a look at our opening times before deciding when to visit. And don't forget, while the visitor centre might be closed, there is access to the reserve at all times, other than Christmas Day, when footpaths will be shut to the public.

We'll be running Christmas crafts and our Santa Trails during opening times right through December so please do drop into the visitor centre. Our holiday volunteers will be showing you how making woolly sparkle sticks, snowy pine cones and lots more, and you can pick up everything you need to take part in our self-led trail. Help the animals of Sandwell Valley find all of Santa's Christmas outfit. Just ask at the visitor desk and we'll set you on your way.

Then we start January with a refreshing gentle walk around the reserve. Join our friendly and knowledgeable volunteers to see and hear the birds that reside at Sandwell in our 'Walk It Off' New Year Walk from 10 am on Saturday 2 January. Have a quick look HERE for more information.
