There's plenty of events for adults to join in with across the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, from adult-only wildlife walks, to markets and book fairs.

At the Hive we offer a calendar of events to give families unique opportunities to build lasting connections with nature and to explore the outdoor environment through play.

From our regular Nature Tots sessions to seasonal specials, we have plenty of events where families can connect with nature all year round.

From day packages to completely bespoke events, we will help you book your perfect conference.

Mere Sands Wood events

An award-winning, floating conference venue set in the heart of a Lancashire nature reserve.

Welcome to our café and event space, nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Queens Park, Bolton. With two large, free council car parks on-site and even more parking nearby, our venue offers convenience and ease of access, situated close to the train and bus stations and just a stone's throw from the town centre.

Our reserves are a wonderful place for photography. If you want to take pictures there, here are a few things to bear in mind. Please note, you must seek permission to film commercially or hold events on our sites.
