Your visit to Brandon Marsh Nature Centre starts at the Visitor Centre, opened by Sir David Attenborough in 1998.  The Centre contains displays, hands-on activities and information about the nature reserve, as well as a Tea Room and Shop.  The Centre is open every day (except Christmas Day) and has lots of events and activities for everyone throughout the year.

From the Welcome Desk the 'Eco-Zone' gives you information about the nature reserve, as well as touch-screen computers and hands-on activities to find out more about the environment.

Then it's off to the Onyx Nature Trail which guides you around the wildlife habitats of the nature reserve. At the end of your visit what could be nicer than a cup of tea or snack in our 'Badgers' Tea Room?  Next to the shop on your way out, the tea Room is open seven days a week.  Please come along to try out our new menu,  friendly service and special offers!
