Join Robin Robin on his South Stack adventure
CELEBRATE your inner Robin on a Robin Robin adventure trail at RSPB South Stack!
Aardman’s new festive musical tale about a young robin trying to fit in, was released on Netflix on 24 November.
Every year, Robin joins her family on a big sneak to find food to survive the winter.
Join us on the great RSPB sneak and celebrate your inner robin! Complete the trail and you will learn to sing like a robin, find your own superpower and use all your senses to connect with the robin within.
Our exclusive activity packs will help you complete all the fun challenges along the trail as well as give robin-related activities to do at home, a certificate (for when you become a brilliant robin) and much more!
Audio trails
We’ve also provided an audio trail. Scan the QR codes as you complete the sneak, to hear Robin herself guide you along the way. Voiced by Bronte Carmichael, the voice actor for Robin Robin. (The Welsh audio is voiced by Mali Ann Rees)
Trails and activities are aimed at children aged 3 – 11 years old but are fun for all the family
Don’t forget to wrap up warm and be prepared for a little mud (which can make it even more fun!).
Activity packs are £3 each from the Visitor Centre and trails are available between 10:00am and 15:00pm. No need to book. Just come along and start sneaking.
Please note there will be no events on 24 and 25 December 2021 as the Visitor Centre will be closed.
Storytelling
When her egg fortuitously rolls into a rubbish dump, Robin is raised by a loving family of mice. As she grows up, her differences become more apparent. Robin sets off on the heist to end all heists to prove to her family that she can be a good mouse – but ends up discovering who she really is.
Campfire story telling
Join us round the campfire to be part of the Robin Robin tale. Prick your ears, sniff the air and watch out for pesky predators as you journey through the story, discover your own sneak superpower and make a festive wish.
Events are aimed at children aged 3 – 11 years old but are fun for all the family
Don’t forget to wrap up warm and be prepared for a little mud (which can make it even more fun!).

Ellin’s Tower
Ellin’s Tower sports magnificent views of the South Stack lighthouse and surrounding cliffs.
Its unique location gives you an incredible opportunity to witness the various species which have been observed from the towers’ panoramic windows: including Risso’s dolphins, porpoises and other cetaceans. On a clear day you can even see Ireland! Binoculars and scopes are set up in the tower and you can also hire binoculars for the day from our shop.
During your visit feel free to ask our knowledgeable staff and volunteers about the abundant wildlife on the reserve. Hopefully you will be inspired by what you have seen and if you wish, our fundraising officers will be available to talk through opportunities to support the RSPB by becoming a member.
Please note Ellin’s tower will be closed from the 6th to 17th of December due to renovation work but the spectacular views will still be there for all to enjoy!
