Popular visitor centre re-opens at Rushden Lakes

Families can now find out more about the wildlife at Rushden Lakes with the re-opening of the Nene Wetlands Visitor Centre.

The centre based next to the lake on the boardwalk has been closed during lockdown, but has just re-opened its doors to visitors.

It is popular with families and those wanting to learn more about the wildlife in and around the retail and leisure site.

A post from the Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs and Northants, which runs the centre, said: "It's been a busy few weeks but we're very pleased to announce that the visitor centre is now open again, complete with new layout, facilities and Covid-19 measures for your safety.

"Initially we'll be open reduced hours of 10am to 4pm, seven days per week and can't wait to welcome you back.

"Better still, we're having a big stock clearance sale with many gift ware lines, including Wrendale and Archipelago, reduced so why not pop in and grab a bargain?"
