St Mary's Wildlife Festival
A free family festival celebrating the rich wildlife of St Mary's Island, from seabirds to the creatures of the rock pools. No booking required.
About This Event
The St Mary's Wildlife Festival celebrates the remarkable biodiversity of St Mary's Island and its nature reserve. Rangers and local wildlife groups lead a free afternoon of family-friendly activities, spotting seabirds, seals and the many creatures that live among the rock pools. Just head down to the lighthouse causeway from 1pm — no booking needed. Check tide times before you set off, as the causeway floods at high water.
