J&S Exotics - Animal Experiences

09/11/2026

Our next big outing has us return to Venue Cymru for North Wales Macabre Market! 😁

This time we'll be taking over the entire stage 😱

Expect to see plenty of animals, some amazing stalls and Father Gothmas!!!

We may have been putting together some crafts and merchandise especially for this event too 👀

Watching this event grow has been a real privilege and we can't wait to be a part of it again. Each year is bigger and better so make sure you don't miss out!

Well we've just about recovered...😴

What a fantastic day we had yesterday at Moonlight Magic Events winter fayre!

It was a surreal experience to say the least. From the minute the doors opened we were greeted by wave after wave of animal loving people. It was such a joy to see so many familiar faces and meet so many new incredible people 😊

It was such a privilege to be allowed to give a talk again as well and to have so many nice comments afterwards 🥰

A HUGE thank you to Sammy for organising another amazing event and allowing us to be a part of it, we've already got next years dates in the diary 😂

Thank you to BGT's Han and Fran for the shout out at the end of their performance and a very special mention to our friends in Animal Encounters as well for coming over to see us and allowing us to meet Tato 😍

There is a reason these guys are the ones we recommend when we're unavailable. It might sound strange that we support what could be seen as a "rival" business but ultimately we're all working towards the same goal. To educate people about these animals in a way that isn't detrimental to their welfare. They share all the same values that are at the heart of J&S and it was an absolute pleasure to see them 💚

If you don't already, definitely go give them a follow!

We're absolutely buzzing for this one and can't wait to see you all there! 😊

And just like that...

As quickly as it came, spooky season is over ☹️

But we had a fantastic time and we'd like to thank Mark and the team at Gwrych Castle, Fern and everyone at The Hive Wrecsam and the security team at Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre for making our birthday week so special 💚

Fear not though, our year is far from over!

This Saturday we return to Venue Cymru for Moonlight Magic Events winter fayre. We always have an amazing time here and we can't wait to be back 😊

We'll have a stall for the duration of the event, but we'll also be doing a talk/display at 11:45. And the best bit, it's all rasing money for an incredible cause, so make sure you come along!

🎃Happy Halloween🎃

Here at J&S we absolutely love Halloween and although we spend all year trying to convince people that our animals aren't as scary as they might seem, it appears Count Nellie didn't get the memo 🧛‍♂️🤣

We hope you all have a spooktacular day! 👻

🎉Happy birthday to us!🎉

J&S Exotics turns 5 today!

5 whole years since we did our first ever show, quite fitting that it was a Halloween show 😂

In that time we've met thousands of people, had countless fantastic interactions and we've been welcomed into homes and venues near and far!

When we first started J&S we said we'd be happy with 1 show a month. Now we're having to turn away bookings because we're so busy. Not something we like doing, but honestly, it's a nice problem to have 😅

We want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported us over the years and allowed us to get to that point;

Our followers, whether you're new to the page or you're a long time follower, we massively appreciate you all 🙏

Everyone that has booked us, from the smallest show in someone's living room, right up to festivals, we truly enjoy bringing our animals and our message to all of you 😁

Our volunteers, Josh, Jacob, Lynne, Liv and Quinn, (and Rhia who will be joining us soon) you're all absolute stars and we couldn't do this without you 😊

We've had an incredible time over the last 5 years but we're nowhere near done yet. There's so much we have planned and we can't wait for you all to come on this journey with us!

Last night J&S went to Chester Zoo to see their new exhibition, Our Story.

It was an incredible 360 degree journey through the life of our world and our species, and an extremely poignant reminder of why we do what we do 💚

We are stewards of this world, and the intelligence we have is a huge responsibility. We can destroy the earth and its inhabitants or we can save them 🌎

Our mission at J&S has always been to educate people about our animals in the hopes that they will have a new respect for the creatures we share our planet with 🐍🦎🦨🦔🦂🪳

We cannot recommend this exhibition enough, it was a truly amazing experience, made all the better by the fact that we bumped into one of our amazing volunteers there! 😂

Thanks to The Hive Wrecsam for inviting us back! 🐝
