Trebah Garden is set to be the venue for Cornwall Wildlife Trust's biggest annual event, the Wildlife Celebration, which showcases the work they do to protect Cornwall's wildlife and wild places.

Held over the weekend of April 22 and 23, between 10.30am and 4pm, a huge crowd is expected at the event near Falmouth.

Now the location is firmly established, the trust expected the event to be as popular as ever, with people travelling from around the county to enjoy a host of wildlife activities.

Visitors will be able to get up close to a variety of wild creatures, watch wildlife demonstrations, and take part in a variety of country craft activities and nature walks.

The Feadon Farm Wildlife Centre will be bringing along some of their animals, giving visitors the chance to get up close and learn all about owls, hawks, buzzards, rodents and even snakes.

The British Trust for Ornithology will be pointing out Trebah's wild birds and giving live bird ringing demonstrations, while rescued Cornish bats will be there with the Cornwall Bat Group.

Mark Nicholson, chairman of trustees for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, said: “The Wildlife Celebration is an inspiring event through which we connect with our much valued members and encourage others to support our work.

"We look forward to sharing the wonder of Cornwall’s wildlife and showing how we can all help to protect it.”

Alan Hyde, head of community relations for South West Water, said: "We are delighted to support this fantastic two-day event in a stunning location.

"It's a great opportunity to get people talking about how looking after water is a starting place for looking after wildlife and how looking after both is good for everyone."

Chris Betty, communications officer for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, said: “We are looking forward to another brilliant weekend at Trebah.

"The Wildlife Celebration is our way of sharing what the trust does for Cornwall with the public and at the same time giving visitors a brilliant weekend out.

"We love Cornwall and we love its wildlife, and this event showcases exactly that.

“We hope that many visitors will feel as inspired as we are by the wildlife in Cornwall and join us not only for a great day out, but also want to get involved in the trust itself through volunteering, surveying, wildlife recording, or just through becoming members."

Entry to the event costs £10 for adults, £9 for seniors and £4 for children, and readers of the trusts Wild Cornwall magazine can use a free entry flyer from the spring edition.
