Summer at the Axe Estuary Wetlands near Seaton can only mean one thing – it’s time for the Wet ’n’ Wild Summer Festival on Saturday August 16, organised by East Devon District Council’s Countryside team.

The day starts at 8am (weather permitting) with a bird ringing demonstration by the Axe Estuary Ringing Group, and a chance to identify and learn about live moths caught in a moth trap during the previous night.

From 10am until 4pm there will be plenty of activities for visitors of all ages to enjoy, including willow weaving, storytelling, children’s craft activities, wildlife rambles, learning birdwatching skills, barbecue and cream teas.

It’s a great family day out, with something for all ages. Entry is free but there is a small charge for refreshments and willow weaving. Park at the Axe Estuary car park (through Seaton Cemetery entrance).
