VisitEngland were highly impressed by Slimbridge’s staff and volunteers who were extremely engaging, along with the overall offer and general presentation of the wetland centre. VisitEngland felt that Slimbridge continues to successfully mix an important educational message about our natural world, with entertainment for all ages.  

Visitor Experience Manager Fran Penny explained, “We’re really pleased to have once again improved on our score from the last assessment. The team work really hard to deliver a great day out to all our visitors and our latest score of 97% recognises their hard work. I’m really pleased VisitEngland enjoyed our new exhibits including Mission Possible and the Living Wetland Theatre.”
