Now as King Richard III, he faces not only dissent from his own barons but another claimant to the throne in the form of Henry Tudor. As The King prepares to deal with this new threat he receives news that his ordinance has been seized by a Welsh Baron, who heading for Sussex intends to lay siege to Arundel Castle, taking it and the inland port, and holding it until Henry arrives. Although there was no historical siege of Arundel Castle in the 15th Century, the three day event will show the importance of artillery in taking a castle, and as a battle field weapon, skirmishes between the two sides, and crafts, costumes and armour of the period.

Over this week, we’d like as many people as possible to come to the reserve and help us with our first ever ‘Big Wild Stock Take’. We want to know how many different species of birds, bugs, mammals and plants can be found here.With the help of our spotting booklets and roaming wardens, we’re asking you to record all of the wildlife you see from whirligig beetles and tiny goldcrests to bumblebees and buzzards. We’ll collect everyone’s records and, at the end of the week, put together a list of all the wildlife that has been found. We’ll also be running some extra activities to help us get the longest list...
Tuesday 05 June – marvellous moths
Time: Drop in between 8 am – 9.30 am
We’ll be running a moth trap overnight, so why not join us in the morning and see what we have lured in? From fantastic furry hawk moths to twig-imitating buff tips, moths are magnificent.
