The Curse of Count Quackula:
Since Count Quackula visited Rye Meads, something very strange has happened.... the kingfishers have disappeared, and the team at the reserve need your help to bring them back! Grab a cauldron, collect your potion ingredients, craft a nature lantern and say the magic words to help save the kingfishers at Rye Meads!
Cost for activity trail & crafts: £3 per participant
Self-led pond dipping will also be available from 10am-4pm. Discover the creatures lurking in the hidden depths of the waters - from the tiny water flea to the mighty dragonfly nymph, the ponds of Rye Meads are full of a variety of amazing animals!
No need to book, just turn up on the day!
All pond dipping equipment is provided and your pond dipping session will last approximately 25 minutes. Please do not bring your own nets as you won't be able to use them in our pond.
Cost: £3 per pond dipping kit
