Enjoy storytime and arts and crafts as part of the family weekend of activities at the London Wetland Centre.

For five weekends from Saturday (January 9), children are invited to keep warm by the fire while listening to stories about nature told by staff and volunteers.

There will also be a chance for children and adults to learn how to make a bird feeder from natural recycled materials or to join the team on one of the wetland encounters to catch a glimpse of some of the plants and animals that live on the grounds.
