Rothschild Bungalow Open Day

10:00am-3:00pm on Sunday 10 September

Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs and Norhants, Woodwalton Fen, Chapel Road, PE26 2RS

Come and explore Woodwalton Fen NNR and enjoy the opportunity to go inside the historic Rothschild Bungalow. Pick up a trail leaflet and get to know the heritage and wildlife of this incredible site.

Built in 1911 as a base for research and summer retreats, this captivating building gives a glimpse into the past pursuits of the founder of the Wildlife Trusts and wildlife conservation as we know it. Join us for privileged access to a building not usually open to the public and discover how Charles Rothschild would have used it as a base for his field trips, studying moths and other insects. There will be staff and volunteers to talk to you about the history of the area and the plans for the future of the Great Fen.

A photographer may be present at the event and taking pictures for Wildlife Trust BCN use so please let us know if you'd rather not be included. Children will have an adult asked to complete a media consent form.
