Arboretum Family Day: Brilliant Birds - Wednesday 26th August, 2026
Duration: 11:00am −15:00pm
Join us for a day of bird-themed activities and find out about what the trees, plants and animals are doing in summer. There will be trails and nature crafts for all ages. Education Officers from the Bodleian Libraries will also be joining us with some special bird-themed activities. This will celebrate the opening of a new exhibition 'Wonder of Birds', held in the Weston Library, Oxford. Inspired by The Book of Birds by Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane, Wonder of Birds celebrates the splendour of the birds around us at the same time as recognising the steep decline in bird populations across our skies in recent decades.
