Children’s Birthday Parties
Looking for a birthday party your child will never forget? Welcome to Foxglove Meadows, where magical animal encounters turn birthdays into truly special celebrations.
Our parties offer children the chance to meet, learn about, and gently handle a wonderful variety of friendly animals, all in a safe, supervised, and fun environment. From soft and cuddly favourites to fascinating exotic friends, every party is designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and huge smiles.
Led by experienced, fully insured animal handlers, children will enjoy hands-on animal experiences, fun facts, and interactive activities tailored to the age of the group. We pride ourselves on creating a calm, positive atmosphere where animals are respected and children feel confident and excited to take part.
For a Birthday party we recommend an absolute maximum of 30 children, however around 20 children or less works better. The more children that attend, the less time each child has for interaction and the more chaotic the event can become. The Birthday boy or girl is called upon to be our Birthday Animal Star and will help us run the party and help us with the animals. Our sessions last between 45 and 50 minutes and you get to choose 4-5 animals to attend the party*. Minimum age is four years old and attendees must be able to understand and follow instructions and require adult supervision at all times. Animal Parties start at £220 with optional add ons.
*animals can be subject to last minute change for health and welfare reasons.
School Visits
At Foxglove Meadows, we bring learning to life through unforgettable, hands-on animal experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and deeper understanding.
Our school sessions are carefully designed to support and reinforce the National Curriculum, transforming classroom learning into real-world, sensory experiences. By meeting animals up close, pupils don’t just learn about them — they see, touch, observe, and engage, strengthening knowledge through meaningful, practical interaction.
We provide age-appropriate, engaging sessions that link directly to key topics including:
Habitats and environments
Life cycles
Adaptation and survival
Food chains and classification
Children are encouraged to ask questions, make observations, and take part in guided handling experiences that build understanding, empathy, and respect for animals. These tactile and sensory opportunities are especially valuable for learners who benefit from kinaesthetic learning, SEND-inclusive approaches, and real-life context.
Our sessions support teachers by bringing learning objectives off the page and into practice, helping pupils retain information, deepen comprehension, and build lasting connections with the natural world.
Whether you’re enhancing a science topic, supporting cross-curricular learning, or enriching a special educational focus, Foxglove Meadows offers an educational experience that pupils remember long after the lesson ends.
