Since the introduction in July of a £3 entry ticket for people in receipt of Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Employment and Support Allowance Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance or Pension Credit, London Wetland Centre has welcomed more than 300 visitors using the new low-cost ticket.
London Wetland Centre first introduced the low-cost entry ticket as part of its aim to become even more accessible, and allow people of all ages and incomes to enjoy a great day out, connect with nature and discover the superpowers of wetlands.
The ticket allows anyone who is in receipt of Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Employment and Support Allowance Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance or Pension Credit to purchase tickets in person or online at wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/london, at the reduced price of £5 per adult or £3 per child.
Children under four-years-old can enter London Wetland Centre for free and do not need to book in advance, but they must be accompanied by an adult with a booked ticket.
Alexia Hollinshead, General Manager at London Wetland Centre, commented: “London Wetland Centre exists to fulfil founder Peter Scott’s vision of connecting people with wetland nature and, as a charity, we are doing what we can do to support that by making entry as accessible as we can for everyone.
“We know what a great thing it can be to enjoy a day out in nature and discover the wonderful variety of wildlife that call our wetlands home, so we’re delighted to see so many people taking advantage of this offer”
Tickets are available for up to a maximum of six people living at the same address, including no more than three adults in the party. Visit https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/london/plan-your-visit/tickets/universal-credit-tickets/ for full terms and conditions.
