New Year, New Vane. Your visitor centre is getting better! Over the next couple of months, we will be improving the visitor centre to make the shop and cafe brighter & better. Don’t worry though, we’ll be staying open throughout, and you’ll still be able to get a cuppa, a slice of cake and your bird food. Please see the blog for the latest information.
