DISCOUNT BUNDLES February 2026
Educational Animal Encounters Monday 16- Friday 20 February
Our resident exotic animal specialist, Mark Amey, is back with a fun, interactive event designed especially for those who are curious about the natural world. Mark is a passionate expert with years of experience as an exotic and domestic animal keeper, breeder, zoologist, environmentalist, and conservationist. What he doesn’t know about animals isn’t worth knowing, so much so he has even been on BBC’s QI!
During a lively 45‑minute educational event, Mark will introduce a range of exotic species, sharing fascinating facts, conservation stories, and the unique behaviours that make each creature extraordinary. Learn how these animals live, what they eat, and why protecting their habitats matters.
After the talk, families will have the chance to enjoy hands‑on animal interactions. You can hold gentle creatures, ask questions, and capture the moment with memorable photo opportunities. It’s the perfect blend of learning and adventure, designed to spark curiosity and build confidence around animals.
Our Education Officer will also be running complimentary 30-minute craft sessions after each show, where you can join a guided hunt for natural materials in the newly renovated fairy woodland followed by a crafting session in the party barn themed around the animals the children have encountered.
Whether you’re raising a budding zoologist or simply looking for a magical family outing, this event promises excitement, education, and plenty of smiles.
- Suitable for ages 3 years plus. Children need to be supervised by an adult at all times.
- There will be a 45-minute show with a photo opportunity.
- The event will be held in our rustic barns which are covered but do not have heating so we recommend wearing warm clothes, wellies and bringing a blanket along.
- Tickets are non-refundable.
- Craft sessions are for Educational Animal Encounter ticketholders only.
- Bundle tickets are for non- Annual-Passholders and include day entry to Standalone, tickets for the Educational Animal Encounters event and the craft session.
- Bundle tickets are only available to purchase online ahead of the event.
