So many of you continue to support in lots of different ways and we are always very, very grateful to all of you.
Today we would like to express our thanks to Beaphar UK, for many years they have continually kept us topped up with their excellent Universal softbill food, our birds love it! Also thanks go to the team at Sainsbury’s Haverhill, they regularly donate a great selection of fresh produce which helps towards the many daily diets keepers lovingly prepare every day.
A huge thank you for the kindness shown by so many of you, it means so much to all of the team here!

32 children from St Mary’s C of E Primary School, Saffron Walden, Essex, spent the day in the company of creatures great and small when they visited us today, 11th June 2025, as part of their school studies.
The zoo is a great place to spark children’s first interest in nature and lessons outside of the classroom may be very stimulating and information can be better retained. The children have been learning about different animal species and their habitats.
Not many of our young visitors had ever heard of a binturong before, but today they had the opportunity to watch the zoo keeper feed the pair Lulu and Toady and hear all about these amazing creatures. Later they were also able to get up close and personal with Dennis the milk snake and Matilda a giant African land snail.
Class teacher Broganne Holmes said it was pleasing to see how much the children got out of their visit and was already planning a trip for next year.
