The finest collection of native wildlife in Britain
WE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED - Covid-19
According to the Government’s 22 February 2021 announcement, as part of a phased release from lockdown, outdoor attractions are permitted to open from 12 April 2021. All easing of restrictions are subject to infection rate and vaccine roll-out criteria, but we are cautiously optimistic and look forward to welcoming visitors back. Over the next few weeks we will keep you up to date on our re-opening and when you can book tickets to visit us. In the meantime, take care and stay safe.
Please support our animals in this time of need
We have been deeply touched by the generous donations made by so many of you and your messages of support during these difficult times. As the challenges continue we are appealing for donations to help us to survive. Any donation will be much appreciated. We would love to be here for you to visit into the future, so you can continue to share our passion for Britain’s wonderful wildlife. Every penny of every donation will go towards the care of our animals. Payment is made securely by Pay Pal (you don’t need to be registered with Pay Pal, you can check out as a guest). Thank-you so very much.

Our friends at Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital provide a valuable 24 hour rescue service for the region’s wildlife, treating, caring and rehabilitating animals for release back into the wild. When this is not possible, they find safe, permanent homes, with organisations like ours. They are in desperate need of a new hospital building to house the increasing numbers of wildlife that need their services, and are welcoming all donations. view appeal and make a donation
