This Christmas season RSPB Cymru is inviting families to celebrate their inner robin with a series of Robin Robin themed adventure trails and exclusive activity packs!
Robin Robin is Aardman’s new festive stop-motion musical tale about a young robin trying to fit in. It debuts on Netflix from 24 November.
The RSPB has partnered with Aardman and Netflix to host bespoke Robin Robin adventure trails on over 30 of its nature reserves around the UK. These fun-filled trails will allow the whole
family to experience the festive joy of Robin Robin, all while spending time in the great outdoors (see appendix 1 for a full list of participating reserves).
Running from 24 November to 10 January, young adventurers will learn to sing like a robin, find their very own superpower, and use all their senses to connect with the robin within. An
activity booklet will help children complete all the challenges and be rewarded with a certificate for completing the trail and becoming a brilliant robin.
Audio trails will also be available at RSPB Cymru nature reserves, voiced by Mali Ann Rees in Welsh and Bronte Carmichael in English, the voice actors for Robin Robin. Other activities on offer include nest building, storytelling events and robin themed crafts.
RSPB Cymru nature reserve cafes will also be offering Robin Robin-themed food and drink so the adventurers can refuel in style! Those with shops will also have Robin Robin books, an exclusive Robin Robin pin badge and products on offer to help families look after robins and other wildlife at home this winter. (note 2)
Llinos Jones Parry, RSPB Cymru Visitor Experience and Marketing Manager, said: “We are so excited to be working with Aardman and Netflix to celebrate the festive magic of the robin with families across Wales. They’re one of the UK’s most beloved birds and a true Christmas icon. Our new trails will immerse families in the Robin Robin story and bring it to life amongst nature, and we hope the film and our adventure trails
can inspire everyone to discover robins and other wildlife near them and get outside in nature. Our Robin Robin activity pack also includes activities and ideas on how you can help robins and other wildlife at home this winter.”
Dan Ojari and Mikey
Please, co-creators and directors of Robin Robin, said: “It’s a dream come true to be partnering with the RSPB, bringing our Robin into their wonderful reserves and helping families connect with the wildlife around them. The story of Robin Robin plays with a misunderstanding between ‘the Who-mens’ and birds and we’re thrilled to support any effort that will help bring our two worlds closer together.”
There’s no need to book ahead for the trail, just visit www.rspb.org.uk/robinrobin to find a Robin Robin trail near you. Please check the opening times of RSPB Cymru nature reserves before visiting as some may have shorter opening hours over the Christmas period.
