What to expect
The Welney Wetland Centre is a nature reserve located in Wisbech, England. It offers a variety of activities and attractions, including the Lady Fen, a 300-acre wetland creation area, a bird feeding station, and the Fenland worlds exhibition, which showcases how people made their livelihoods from the wetlands before they were drained.

Welney Wetland Centre, Educational Day Out in Norfolk, UK.
Activities: We visited the Fenland Worlds Discovery Centre and schools activity room, and the kids made winter bird feeders from pine cones crammed full of a gloopy mixture of lard, seeds and cranberries
Highlights: The kids had plenty of fun making and creating in the schools centre, and I was impressed with the educational promotion on cranberries ✨
