This summer holiday get your family out into the countryside with fun events at RSPB Frampton Marsh.

Right through the school break, you can take part in one of the special activities designed to get kids closer to nature.

Running every day, put your brain to the test with a treasure hunt.

Human athletes will be competing this summer in the Commonwealth Games. But how do they compare against the best of the animal world? As you follow the clues along surfaced paths, find out who are the true record breakers.

Pick up your entry sheet from the visitor centre before setting off, looking for activities to do and questions to answer. If you get them right, you win a super prize!

The treasure trail is suitable for children aged five to 12 and costs £1 per child.

If your kids are keen on the natural world, why not book onto one of the special courses running during the holiday?

On Tuesdays and Thursdays you can investigate a watery world with pond dipping and on Fridays it is time to look at life on a smaller scale with a Mini Monsters bug hunt.

With expert guides on hand to identify what you find, you can get a glimpse of a completely different world, filled with strange wonders and tiny terrors.

Places on the courses cost £3 per child with advance booking essential.

If you prefer something big and bold, the reserve is holding a Big Birthday Bash on Sunday, August 3, between 11am and
4pm.

Celebrating 30 years of the reserve, there will be plenty of fun activities on offer, and all completely free!

Chris Andrews, visitor services officer for the reserve, said; “Summer is here and it is marvellous to get out into the great British countryside. Bring your kids and have a great time surrounded by wonderful wildlife.”
