Join us for the "Millie Goes Wild @ Spring" open day and learn all about the wildlife locally in Dorset and on site here at Holton Lee. With a beautiful 350 acre nature reserve as the backdrop, you can carry out your own wild walk and let us know what you spot from the boardwalk, viewpoints, bird hides and heathland.

We will also be joined by some of our external partners, who will be on hand with information stands and offering practical activities and guided walks.

In addition to the various wildlife, Holton Lee is also home to Millie College, a special educational needs provision focusing on life skills and skills for employment through an Enterprise curriculum. Students have wonderful opportunities in Horticulture, Conservation, Animal Care, Creative Crafts, Catering and Retail on site and utilise what they have learnt to support public events and open days.

Faith's Kitchen Café will be open, offering a selection of homemade light bites and treats to keep your energy up throughout the day. With a mixture of indoor and outdoor seating and takeaway options, you are sure to find a suitable spot with a lovely atmosphere and view.

When your feet need a rest and your stomach is full, try out some retail therapy at the craft and plant stall. There will be a selection of homegrown plants and produce for sale, as well as a variety of retail purchases and bespoke craft items created by our students and staff.

If by the end of the visit you are feeling inspired by what we do, then please take a look at the opportunities stand and learn more about volunteering or paid employment vacancies we have!
Tickets must be pre-booked. Adults £2 & Children £1.
