At the present time we have no scheduled RSPB Rainham Marshes Military Walk. Note that this event will be run as part of our partnership with the RSPB and will need to be booked through them at their website.

Heritage Walks can be run any Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday when we are open provided there are sufficient numbers.
We also cater for organised groups on other days of the week provided these are pre-booked and have sufficient numbers. School, Scouting, Cadets, U3A and other adult groups welcome.
