Shop on the Fen

Our shop is packed with books, travel goods, wildlife prints, local crafts and tasty treats. All proceeds from the shop help us look after Wicken Fen "For Ever and Everyone".

Find your next good read

Browse our range of evocative ‘nature writing’ titles, including, of course, our recommended read ‘Cuckoo, cheating by nature’ by Prof Nick Davies. This charts the evolutionary battle between cuckoos and their unwitting host birds, focussing on the Wicken Fen reed warblers; it is a fascinating read, and through it all shines Nick’s love of Wicken Fen. We also stock a wide selection of the ever-useful identification guides published by the Field Studies Council, which will get you started on birds, butterflies, dragonflies, or help you dig into the detail on rushes, shield bugs, or harvestmen, to name a few.

Inspire the kids with outdoor gifts

Get everyone outside with our selection of outdoor play toys and games.  From skipping ropes and den kits, to binoculars and activity books, there’s plenty of ideas to choose from.
