Armed Forces Day 2025

Celebrate and commemorate with us

Each year we celebrate our wonderful Armed Forces and Veterans and this year it will be on Saturday 28th June. We want to welcome you to our animal sanctuary by offering a free day out to all Armed Forces personnel and Veterans for this special day. No catches or ties, as long as you have valid ID to show us then your entry is complete free for the day.

Not only will there be nostalgic music playing, but commemorative displays and specials in The Rainforest Diner to enjoy. We will also be joined by Group Together Ltd to provide SuperMedics courses completely free of charge for children! Let the kids become super heroes of life saving techniques with a fun family activity and certificate at the end! Donations to join in the course are most welcome but not essential.

Not only that, but Group Together Ltd will be bringing along their inflatable slide and bouncy castle as an extra activity. So, for just a small donation the kids can bounce until their hearts content!

Please support your Armed Forces by coming along and taking a much needed relaxing day with our animals and nature. Feed the birds and meerkats, relax at one of our picnic sites and take in the majesty of our big cats. You can even book an up-close experience with your favourite character to make your day extra special.
