About the event

Sutton Courtenay Environmental Education Centre is set on a lovely, hidden nature reserve tucked away behind Didcot Power Station. With meadows, ponds and woodland there is always something to see, from autumn colour and wary foxes to dancing dragonflies and shimmering spider webs.

Join our learning volunteers to find out a bit more about the reserve and what we do here, before they lead you on a gentle stroll, stopping to appreciate whatever takes your fancy. Visit the bird hide, peep into the ponds, spot the signs of the season. After the walk there is time to enjoy hot drinks, cake and biscuits together, and you're welcome to bring your lunch to enjoy in the picnic area after the event. 

The session will be relaxed and informal with the option of a shorter walking route if you prefer. Come alone, come with a friend, bring your baby in a carrier - all welcome! (If you're looking for activities suitable for toddlers or older children please have a look at our website or get in touch, there is lots on offer.)

The centre is accessible by car, bike and public transport (buses to Milton Park, and trains to Didcot Parkway with a regular bus link). what3words ///limit.broom.flip
