Magic Mammals – FREE EVENT

26th April 2026 @ 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Join us at Stanwick Lakes on the 26th April to celebrate National Mammal Week.

Drop in to our Magic Mammal event anytime between 11am and 3pm to discover how we protect mammals at Stanwick Lakes, watch footage of the amazing animals that live on the reserve and pick up tips on how to identify mammals from the clues they leave behind. You can also test your knowledge at our mammal nature table quiz (including skulls!), enjoy mammal themed children’s crafts and make a mammal footprint tunnel to take home to your garden.

You can also find out how to take part in the Mammal Society’s 2026 Mammal Discovery Challenge. This citizen science project aims to encourage and enable people of all ages to help address the lack of data on mammal populations in Britain by monitoring and recording the mammals visiting their gardens.

This event is organised in partnership with the Nene Valley Mammal Youth Group, a new mammal group which provides opportunities for young people to discover mammals, learn about them and take action to protect them.

The Magic Mammals is a FREE event, thanks to funding from the Mammal Society (Usual car parking charges apply).

National Mammal Week takes place from 20th to 26th April and is an annual celebration of Britain’s wild mammals, and the people working to monitor, protect and restore populations of these vital species. To find out more visit: https://mammal.org.uk/national-mammal-week/
