Happy New Year, everyone! ✨ Start 2025 with a look back at the holiday magic! Watch as Santa delivered enriching surprises to our animal friends at Shepreth Wildlife Park! 🎁🎅🎄

On Saturday 21st December 2024, we marked our 40th anniversary with a grand celebration at the prestigious King's College, Cambridge. Over 180 guests gathered to honour four decades of commitment to wildlife rehabilitation, conservation and education.

The evening was brimming with memorable moments, from heartfelt speeches delivered by Rebecca Willers, Director of SWP and Chair of SWCC, and Hugh Warwick, Patron of SWCC, to captivating guest appearances by World War II veteran Colin Bell and renowned actress Sue Holderness. Guests were also treated to a special musical performance by The King's Men and a lively DJ session by Eddy Temple-Morris, keeping the energy alive throughout the night.

The event’s silent auction, raffles and casino games raised an incredible £25,000, which will directly fund the SWCC - Shepreth Hedgehog Hospital, in addition to the important educational role it plays too.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us in celebrating this milestone and to all who have supported our mission over the past 40 years. Your unwavering dedication makes our work in wildlife rehabilitation, conservation and education possible. Together, we can continue to create a brighter future for the animals and habitats we love. Thank you for being a key part of our journey—here’s to the next 40 years! ✨

Shepreth Wildlife Park proudly hosted the first ABWAK Invertebrate Keeper Workshop last month, bringing together passionate zookeepers from across the country for a fantastic and very informative day 🐜🪲🕷🦂

We had the chance to discuss fascinating topics such as invertebrate husbandry, conservation strategies, safety, habitat design and even first aid for these tiny creatures. It was an incredible opportunity to share knowledge and exchange ideas about the care of these often overlooked animals. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special!
