Cancelled: Dawn Chorus walk
Due to volunteer sickness we've had to cancel this event. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause. Rise and shine bright and early to experience the magic of Calke at dawn on International Dawn Chorus Day.
- Booking essential
As the sun rises and the park comes alive, tune into the enchanting melodies of the dawn chorus and immerse yourself in nature.
Follow your early-morning walk with a well-earned breakfast bap in the café, cooked by Calke's chefs.
With the choice of a meat option, vegetarian option, or vegan breakfast bap – there's something for everyone to enjoy. A hot drink or a glass of juice is also included.
