Event Description

We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s Annual Conference! Join us for a day of bird-related talks, birdwatching, and socialising at Lough Neagh Discovery Centre. Whether you are new to birdwatching, a life-long birder, or somewhere in between, you are most welcome!

Booking is essential to secure your spot:

Entry is £25 per person* and includes registration, tea/coffee and a finger-buffet lunch. The food provided will be vegetarian by default so if you would like meat please specify upon booking using the Diet - details if 'other' chosen box.

*For those on lower incomes: we have a limited number of tickets available at a price of £10. We want everyone to be able to join us and so for those on lower incomes, including young people aged 25 and under and anyone else for whom the full ticket price would be a barrier, please feel free to choose this option.
