Join us for a members-exclusive opportunity to view and enjoy Badgers from our specially-built platform.

Very small groups will be taken to limit disturbance to the Badgers. Please refrain from booking on multiple dates so that as many people as possible are able to enjoy this wonderful experience.

Please note that Badgers are wild animals and we are not guaranteed to see them.

Accessibility note: Our Badger-watching platform is accessed by a 6-step ladder, and is quite narrow with a backless bench for seating. Children are allowed - however once on the platform they have to be able to sit very quietly for an extended period of time.

Please wear wellies as the walk down can be muddy.

NHSN members ONLY. You will be asked to provide your NHSN membership number when registering. Not a member? Explore membership here
