Educational drop-in days

Visit us at one of our sites to explore local wildlife, while also learning about water or sewage treatment.


About our drop-in days

These drop-in days, which are suitable for all ages, offer an exciting opportunity to learn about how we treat millions of litres of water and sewage.

Take part in a range of fun activities, as well as walking around our sites to see the vibrant mix of wildlife they are home to.

With expert advice from our Rangers, some of the sessions will also give you the chance to try your hand at fly fishing.

Our drop-in days are free to attend, and you do not have to book – just show up on the day!
