Our Ostrich has only gone and laid another giant Easter egg at the Wild Boar Park! 🐣🌿 Happens around this time every year… honest 😉

Now, while this might be a bit of fun… what’s not a joke is that we’re officially back open this Easter weekend 🐣 for the first time since Halloween! 🙌

We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors again. Keeping things simple, just £5 per car on the day 🚗

🐣 Follow our Easter trail
🎨 Get stuck into Easter-themed crafts & activities
🐗 Meet a number of our animals
🌿 Enjoy a wander around the park with family and friends
🧃 Refreshments available in our exhisting cafe while we continue building the new cafe (launches in May ☕️).

Open Friday 3rd until Monday 6th April, 10.30am - 4pm.

It’s been a long winter… and we can’t wait to see lots of friendly faces again! 🙏🏻☺️ x

Side note - yes, this was supposed to be Dave. 🙈 Turns out even AI couldn’t quite recreate the charm & handsomeness of the real Dave. Some things are just impossible to replicate! 😅
