with Tom McKinney from Martin Mere Wetland Centre, Lancashire

As dawn breaks on Advent, we begin our seasonal journey live from Martin Mere Wetland Centre in Lancashire. With carols from Kantos Chamber Choir, festive treats and birdsong.

As dawn breaks on Advent, we begin our seasonal journey live from Martin Mere Wetland Centre in Lancashire. Kantos Chamber Choir will be live in our bird hide bringing festive cheer with carols both traditional and new. Tom McKinney will be taking us on a wildlife adventure in sound as we join him in his canoe through the waterways of the mere. And, as the sun rises, we will hear the sound of thousands of birds as they wake up, spread their wings and take to the skies.
