An update on RSPB Fairhaven Lake

As of 5pm on Monday 30 June, the RSPB Fairhaven Lake visitor centre and shop will close its doors to the public for the final time.

The decision to close the centre has not been taken lightly and we recognise it has a special place in the hearts of many in the community.

The visitor centre building is owned by Fylde Borough Council and will be returned to them at the end of July when we have removed our remaining shop stock and equipment. The council has confirmed that it intends to take on the running of the building in-house as a visitor centre and will provide further information in due course. All other facilities and activities around the lake remain unaffected by the RSPB’s departure.

Our remaining focus on the Ribble Estuary will be Marshside and Hesketh out Marsh, our nature reserves on the Southport side of the estuary. We also continue to be involved in the wider Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve alongside other environmental organisations.
