Martin Mere Wetland Centre in Lancashire is inviting kids to enter for free during thenext planned teacher strikes on Thursday April 27 and Tuesday, May 2.

Victoria Fellowes, Visitor Experience Manager, said: “Martin Mere offers a fun and educational day out for families. Visitors can explore our wetlands and learn all about species that call wetlands home and the conservation work from WWT.
