SOUTH Walney Nature Reserve is offering free coffee for National Lottery players this weekend.

So if you are thinking of heading to the nature reserve this weekend, to enjoy the flocks of winter wading birds or to see this year’s seal pups on the Seal Cam, then you may be eligible for a free cup of coffee in the new visitor centre.

The free coffee offer is open to all those who bring along a National Lottery ticket (new or used) and is part of the #ThanksToYou campaign run by the National Lottery.

The National Lottery is celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a big Thank You to players for raising over £40 billion for good causes over the past 25 years.

The wildlife on offer at the reserve is really thriving as well at the moment as the number of seal puppies has increased to seven recently.

They hope to be able to emulate the success of 2017 where the total number of pups was 10.

The offer runs from today until Sunday, December 1.
