Visitors to Arundel Wetland Centre this week can take advantage of a two-for-one admission offer as part of the National Lottery Open Week.

Anyone who presents a National Lottery ticket or scratchcar­d between March 19-27 can get two-for-one entry, with a full-paying adult, to enjoy a spring day out and discover why wetlands are amazing.

The National Lottery Open Week is a chance for participat­ing venues across the UK to say ‘thanks’ to people who have raised money for good causes by buying a lottery ticket.

Tim Mcgregor, WWT Arundel centre manager, said: “We’re so pleased to be part of the National Lottery Open Week.

“We want to say a big thankyou

to National Lottery players who are supporting wetland wildlife. Funds like this over the last 25 years and help from our members, supporters and volunteers, have ensured that healthy wetland nature thrives and enriches lives. We’re really looking forward to welcoming them to our centres.

“We want to open up a whole new world of wonderful wetlands for more people to discover and enjoy. We know they’ll love exploring our breathtaki­ng watery landscapes and meeting our amazing wetland wildlife up close.

“Spring is a great time to visit as our wetland are bustling with life. There’s no better place to take in the sights and sounds of nature and make the most of spring with a memory-making day out for all.”

Over the past 25 years, WWT has received over £11million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) thanks to National Lottery players.

The support from National Lottery players has contribute­d hugely in enabling WWT to continue its charity work to conserve, restore and create wetlands, save wetland wildlife, and inspire everyone to value the amazing things healthy wetlands achieve for people and nature.

NLHF funded projects have helped WWT create new wetland habitat, build accessible new hides, run education projects and open new visitor centres.
