☀️ VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE – PLEASE READ! ☀️

We’ll be closing the gates at 3.15pm tomorrow (13.8.26) and Friday (14.8.26) due to the expected hot weather.

If you’re planning to visit us over the next few days, we strongly recommend coming first thing in the morning and avoiding the hottest part of the afternoon.

Please leave your dogs at home 🐶, dress for the weather, bring plenty of water and take care around hot surfaces inside Pets Corner.

And just a heads-up – there may not be quite as much to see as usual! Our animals will be keeping cool too, you may not see them as they will be spending lots of time in the shade, resting and generally taking it easy.

Please take care, keep cool and stay safe during your visit! 💧☀️

It's National Moth Week!

Moths are incredible pollinators, an important food source for birds and bats, and a vital part of our local ecosystems. With thousands of species in the UK, they're every bit as fascinating and beautiful as butterflies!

Here at Pets' Corner, we love moths and are lucky to be a great spot for these stunning creatures to hang out. So join us tomorrow as we celebrate National Moth Week! We'll have a variety of moth-themed activities and crafts for all ages, so come along to discover these amazing nocturnal insects and celebrate the wonderful wildlife on our doorstep.

Have you spotted any moths in your garden this summer? We'd love to hear about your sightings!

Here are a few we have seen at Pets' Corner.

Does your child love animals? Have they ever dreamed of being a zookeeper? 🐾

If your child has a passion for animals our Junior Zookeeper Days are the perfect adventure!

They'll step into the boots of a real zookeeper and get involved in a variety of daily animal care tasks. From preparing feeds and cleaning enclosures to creating enrichment activities and learning about animal behaviour and welfare, they'll discover the dedication and teamwork that goes into caring for animals every day.

It's a fun, hands-on experience that gives young animal lovers a behind-the-scenes look at life as a zookeeper while making unforgettable memories along the way.

☀️ With temperatures rising, we're asking visitors to help us keep animals safe and comfortable in the heat.

If you're planning a visit to Pets Corner, please come early in the day and avoid the hottest afternoon hours where possible. Many of our animals will be keeping cool with extra shade, fresh water and species-appropriate cooling treats.

We're also asking dog owners to avoid visiting the park with their dogs during the midday heat. Pavements, paths and other surfaces can become hot enough to burn paws, and the risk of overheating increases significantly. Instead, opt for walks in the early morning or later in the evening when temperatures are lower.

At home, make sure pets have access to shade, plenty of fresh water and a cool place to rest. And don't forget our local wildlife – leaving out a shallow bowl of fresh water can make a real difference for birds, hedgehogs and other garden visitors.

From our animals to yours, stay cool and take care in the heat. 🐾💧
