Visitors will be able to see over 100 animals within the little sanctuary, learning about the animals in the wild, and the stories behind the rescues. Offering school talks and flying displays* there is plenty of opportunity to learn, whilst supporting the work of the charity. A perfect hour out for animal lovers old and young.

Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 813 reviews Posted on Helen Beale21 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a brilliant ,Family run , Garden centre this is . Lovely staff , all very helpful and friendly. Such variety of goods ranging from wonderful garden furniture ( settee combinations and tables with chairs , not to mention a host of cushions to go on them ) then there's extras like bird feeders , outdoor clocks and lighting , both solar and plug in, low watt electric lights. A great range of pet items too . Then , most importantly , it also sells everything the keen gardener requires such as plants , fertilisers , sprays and compost , of many varieties . A wonderful café also onside with both indoor and outdoor tables , great disabled and pushchairs access and a new Garden centre village on site selling lovely items for gifts etc . Icecreams and other edible treats sold on site too . Plenty of parking , and crazy golf in the summer . A great place for both a gardener and the family as a whole .Posted on billy rose14 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
