Photography
The British Wildlife Centre is known for fabulous photographic conditions for shots that would take patience and lots of luck to achieve in the wild! Enthusiastic amateurs and professional photographers will find all they need to get the perfect wildlife image.
Photography Days
Our Photography Days are held when we are closed to the public, offering the amateur photographer an opportunity to get close to our animals. Good vantage points combined with natural surroundings and a peaceful environment gives you every opportunity to achieve superb wildlife shots, and we allow access inside some of the enclosures, including the foxes, otters and Scottish wildcats (though nothing is guaranteed with animals!). more details
Camera Clubs & Groups: Subject to availability we can offer exclusive dates and a 10% discount to camera clubs, photographic societies and other groups, up to a maximum group size of 10. In the high season (Mar-Oct) the group size minimum is 8 and in winter (Nov – Feb) the minimum is 5. Please call us on 01342 834658 during office hours for more details and to check availability.
