We are now offering a service to visit children's parties at venues outside our own premises. We will come to your party, bringing along some of our animals, usually an owl, hedgehog and snake and give your party guests the opportunity of getting up close and personal with these wild animals. We can also offer animal face painting too! Please contact us if you are interested. Take this link to our Contact Us page. |
A
Unique BirthdayExperience
We
are offering young people a rare a birthday treat to spend time, up close, to
many species of British wildlife and other more exotic animals and become a real
animal carer for the day!
The
birthday child will spend the day working alongside the owner and main animal
carer at The Sanctuary and see what the it is like “behind the scenes” at an
animal sanctuary.
Activities
will include feeding all the wildlife and farm animals, spending time with our
tame fox Donut, handling some of our more exotic animals, mucking out stables,
grooming the ponies & donkeys and walking our goats back into their stalls
for the night.
He/She
will also spend some time in our intensive care (which is not open to the
public) where there may be young animals or birds in care And after a hard
day’s work, then finish off with a pony ride in the paddock! (up to age 10
only)
