Butterfly Count 5 August 2025

We invite you to join us for a leisurely walk around Ryde Cemetery on Tuesday 5 August, when we will be hosting a Butterfly Count, led by Richard Smout. There will be many species of Butterflies for you to see, which Richard will help you to identify.

If you would like to join the walk, meet at the twin chapels 10.50am

We will be open from 10am-1pm, so if you just want to come into the centre and browse, or just have a cuppa and a chat, we will be pleased to see you.

Light refreshments will be available all the while the centre is open.
