The programme allows for long tea and lunch breaks so that those attending have plenty of time to view the various stands and talk to others. Also, as lunch is NOT provided, a long break will allow for those who do not bring their own food to venture out to the nearby fish and chip and other shops/pubs. The event is FREE, but those wishing to attend MUST book a place. Contact John Bristow at the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust either by email jbristow@lrwt.org.uk or telephone 0116 2487360.
