Important visitor news. 🚨
To help make sure WWT Washington thrives long into the future, for both wildlife and people, we’ll be introducing seasonal opening hours from 1 September 2026.
Like a lot of charities across the UK, we’re facing rising costs and increasing financial pressures, alongside historically lower visitor numbers during quieter times of the year.
Moving to a seasonal opening pattern will help us respond to these challenges while also focusing our time and resources where they matter most: making your visitor experience the best it can be and doing our vital conservation work.
The site will remain open year-round; opening 7 days a week during busier spring and summer months and 3-5 days a week during the quieter autumn and winter period.
So, there’s plenty of time to experience our wetlands, and the wildlife that call them home, through all the seasons. 💚
