We shall be carrying out our first butterfly and dragonfly surveys of the year today. If the weather is favourable there should be plenty of spring butterflies around, with the possibility of some early damselflies and dragonflies as well.

The surveys will start from the visitor centre at 11.00 and 1.30.

This is a friendly group of members. If you are interested in coming along, please contact friends@paxton-pits.org.uk for more information. You do not need to be an expert to join us.

You can find our full survey programme for 2024 here New tab.

Visitors are advised to wear suitable clothing for outdoor events with strong boots or shoes, and hats in the summer sun.

We open selected Sundays through the year with occasional Saturdays on special event weekends.

All our open days are pre-book only,

We are currently operating a pre-book only system

Please remember: no one is allowed on site without a pre-booking.

On a running day we run 2hr booked sessions with 12 groups (family) of up to 6 persons in each group, this reduces the number on site and gives each group their own dedicated seating. It means the MAX number of public on site is limited to a number that gives everyone lots of space.
We have 6 seating pods and 6 picnic tables (marquee covered) to allow for seating for all the groups.
NOTE: The amount paid to pre-book (£15) gives you 7 tickets when you arrive on site to use against train rides or refreshments, you can then add to that and purchase anymore train rides or refreshments to suit your needs.
ADDITIONAL RIDE /REFRESHMENT TICKETS CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED ON THE DAY
We have card and cash payment facilities on site.
If you are unable to attend then we are not able to refund your booking fee. Running the reduced numbers we need a MIN amount of bookings to be able to keep the railway viable, we have had a few people that wanted a refund as they didn’t want to come as it was raining.

Tickets can be purchased through Ticketsouce at the link below.

Tickets are released for booking 7 – 21 days before an event.
