Canterbury Environment Centre is inviting the public to three Easter fun filled activity days where they can join in an egg-tastic egg hunt and Easter crafts whilst learning to care for the local environment and nature.
On Friday 21, Sunday 23 and Monday 24 March 2008, visitors will be given clues to solve the mystery of the Great CEEC Egg Hunt as they take the opportunity to explore one of Canterbury’s best kept secrets; the beautiful, tranquil grounds of this local nature reserve.
Canterbury Environment Centre is based in the grounds of National Grid’s high-voltage electricity substation in Broad Oak Road, less than 1 mile away from the town’s famous cathedral. Hidden away behind a busy industrial thoroughfare, this unique 12 hectare urban oasis offers a number of carefully constructed pathways, bridges, bird hides and other structures that give easy access for any visitor to enjoy nature at its very best.
Graham Dear, Head of Centre said, “These promises to be an enjoyable day out for all the family. On the Easter Trail, Children (and their parents) will enjoy exploring our wonderful site looking for clues and learning about the plants and animals which live here. They can also have a go at learning a new skill or craft.”
On the three days over Easter, the centre will be open to the public from 10am to 4pm and can be contacted on 01227 452447. Entrance fee is £2 per person plus £1 per person per activity.
From 6 April to 26 October 2008, the centre will be open to the public every Sunday and Bank Holiday and Monday to Friday during school holidays - 10am-4pm (last entry 3pm).
Entrance fee is £2 per person.
