Bringing a group to Paxton Pits Nature Reserve
The Friends of Paxton Pits Nature Reserve offers arrangements for Groups to make your visit as enjoyable and memorable as possible. Please support the Reserve and help us to use our volunteer resources to your best advantage, by sending us the information on the booking form (Word, 141k) in plenty of time ahead of your planned visit.
For just £2.50 per person, we provide:
A guided walk of
approximately 2 hours with local experts*
(*Optional, but a great way of
getting the background story! One or more guides, depending on the size of group.
Special interests can often be matched with guides)
Guaranteed availability
of all Visitors’ Centre facilities for the duration of your visit
(since it is staffed by volunteers, the Visitors’ Centre is not otherwise
guaranteed to be open)
Refreshments: Free cup of tea, or
coffee, and a biscuit, or hot chocolate or hot soup
Parking arrangements
guaranteed (Minibuses and coaches cannot be accommodated unless your group has
booked in advance)
Nature Trail leaflet
Special arrangements
for members of your Group with limited mobility (e.g. tailored
route, RADAR gates)
Self-guiding nature trail quizzes for children
in your Group
Spend the rest of your visit exploring the Reserve
and, via Public Footpaths, the wider Paxton Pits complex of gravel workings
On receipt of your booking form, we will confirm the booking
and arrangements, in writing, within 21 days. If we need any further information,
or if there is a difficulty with the date, we will try to contact you by telephone
within 14 days of receipt of your booking form.
How
to pay? Please pay your guide or the volunteers at the Visitors' Centre at the
time of your visit. Please pay by cheque (made payable to “The Friends of
Paxton Pits Nature Reserve”), or with cash (we do not have debit/credit
card facilities).
We look forward to your visit!
