Devon Wildlife Trust will be getting into the festive spirit with their annual celebration held at the beautiful Cricklepit Mill located at Exeter's Quayside.
Children's activities include willow weaving and arts and crafts. Families can also get stuck in making bird feeders to give the garden birds a festive treat.
Seasonal nature tales can be heard in the Story Room, while Father Christmas returns to his grotto.
Home-made mince pies and refreshments will be available and DWT Christmas cards will also be on sale.
One of the South West’s leading charities has been awarded a top environmental award.
Devon Wildlife Trust, whose main headquarters is in Exeter and bases at Wembury (near Plymouth) and Cookworthy (near Great Torrington), demonstrated its commitment to environmental management recently by becoming the first county wildlife trust to gain the prestigious ISO - international standard accreditation.
Many businesses are committed to reducing their environmental impacts, but few have taken the time and made the investment to gain the coveted ISO14001 award.
