Animal encounters/parties
Animal Encounters and Parties
Animal encounters are a fun and engaging way to excite your guests while offering a structured, welfare-led experience with a selection of carefully chosen exotic animals.
Sessions are delivered by a qualified and experienced animal handler and are designed to be interactive, educational, and memorable, with plenty of opportunities for supervised, hands-on interaction and photos.
I attend events in homes, gardens, and hired venues. Outdoor settings are welcome where weather conditions are suitable for the animals and appropriate shelter is available.
How Sessions Work
All sessions are fully supervised and carefully managed to protect animal welfare and ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.
Group numbers are capped, handling time is controlled, and animals are rotated and rested throughout the session. Entry may be paused if capacity is reached.
I do not offer open-access handling or uncontrolled sessions.
Bookings are priced based on on-site delivery and responsibility for the animals, rather than hourly handling time. This includes insurance and licencing, risk assessments, arrival, setup, session delivery, supervision, pack-down, and ongoing animal welfare management.
Travel
Prices include travel within 20 minutes of my base location.
Events further afield may incur a travel supplement, which will be confirmed at enquiry stage.
