Donna Nook seal viewing area and booking system to close following the Government announcement of new national lockdown

Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust have taken the decision to close the seal viewing area and the booking system to view the seals at Donna Nook following the Government announcement of new national lockdown from Thursday 5 November 2020.

Bookings will be accepted for dates up to and including 4 November 2020 after which point, we would ask people not to travel to see the seals in line with Government guidance.

Refunds will be given for all bookings received for dates on or after 5 November 2020. A decision about when and how to reopen will be taken once guidance for the post lockdown period has been announced by Government.

We would like to thank everyone for the messages of support and their interest in the seal colony. However, we would reiterate the importance of following Government guidelines and not visiting the seals during the lockdown period. Staff will continue to be present on site to manage the situation and monitor the colony. We’ll also continue sharing a weekly pupdate and photos of the seals on our Facebook page so be sure to give us a follow.

As a charity, we’ve been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Wildlife needs your help now more than ever. Please, if you can, donate to our seal appeal and help us to keep protecting the seals and their important habitat.
