About

Your Animal Kingdom

Your Animal Kingdom is a small, friendly business ran by people with a huge passion for animals. Our key incentive is to inspire generations to care for wildlife, from our British natives to endangered species around the globe. We do this with fun, interactive and educational sessions for all ages with our wide range of animals.

"The team consists of expert animal handlers and trainers each with years of experience under their belt, providing not just valuable lessons about the environment and it's inhabitants but an entertaining display for all ages.

I highly recommend their services and hope you are as inspired as I am by their dedication and hard work they put in for their little family of critters".
