If you're at a bit of a loss how to keep the kids entertained this week, why not bring them along to do some art activities at Mersehead?  They can make a snapper or flapper or just do some good old colouring in!  All activities are free and will be taking place in the Visitor Centre 11am- 4pm every day this week.  Then on Friday we have another Star gazing event with Dumfries Astronomy Society.  The event will be on 6.30-8.30pm.  Despite cloudy weather we had 30 people come along to our last Star gazing event last month and they enjoyed a talk by the Astronomy Society.  However this time we are keeping fingers and toes crossed for a clear night so we can get out and do some star spotting. 

This week also sees a week of events to celebrate "Wild Winter" a variety of events run by different organisations at different venues across Dumfries and Galloway to celebrate what an amazing region we have for wildlife!  To find out what else is going on this week have a look at www.wildseasons.co.uk
