About the event

Led by our Education Officer and Southend City Council's Park Warden, join us for a guided walk around Belfairs Woods. Learn about the history of your local woodland, the importance of certain tree and plant species, how to find signs of your local wildlife and learn about the natural threats to our local woodland and how best to help them.  

We will also be bringing our identification guides showing you how best to identify different parts of the woodland, such as ancient woodland indicators and grow your tree identification skills.

FAQs

🎫 Who needs a ticket to attend?

All adults will need a ticket to attend.

📍Where do we meet?

Meet outside the Nature Discovery Centre. Please allow time for parking. If you arrive later, further meeting point instructions will be sent before the event. 

🥾What should we wear?

Most of our events are fully outdoors, and you need to come dressed for the weather.  We recommend layers (top and bottom), which can get mucky. Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them. 

🌍Where are you based?

We are located in Leigh-on-Sea, just off the A127 in Southend-on-Sea. We are also close to Rochford, Hadleigh, and Rayleigh.

🚗Is there parking?

Yes, we have two free car parks. The main car park is located within the main entrance but has limited spaces and is a short walk to the Nature Discovery Centre. The second car park is located behind The Inn at Belfairs pub on Eastwood Road North. The Nature Discovery Centre is approximately a 15-minute walk away from the second car park, straight through the woodland. Please allow enough time for parking when arriving for your event. 

🚻Are there toilets?

Yes. Our Belfairs Nature Discovery Centre has toilets (including an accessible toilet and baby changing facilities)

☕Is there a café?

There is a café serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice cream, and light lunches. 

🐕‍🦺Can we bring a dog?

As much as we love our furry friends, only assistance dogs are welcome at our events.
