Join us for Mill Meadows Nature Day - a fun, free community event that brings together nature lovers and local residents of all ages. Enjoy a day of hands‑on activities, guided walks and bite-size talks led by local experts.
The event is to be held in the field called Wantsfield which is located on the western side of the local nature reserve adjacent to the Southend Road. This is your chance to discover local wildlife, explore the landscape, and learn more about the site’s heritage and the role it plays in our community.
What’s on:
· Guided butterfly and heritage walks around Mill Meadows with local experts
· Birds of prey display from Birds of Prey - Barleylands
· Woodland activities for children with Billericay Forest School
· Make your own bee bombs with Norfolk Bees
· Free crafts for all ages, including windmill building, cloud spotting and scavenger hunts
· Stalls from local animal and nature charities

A relaxed, family‑friendly day out – and a great way to enjoy, explore and appreciate the beauty of the Mill Meadows Local Nature Reserve.
