A small donation can make a huge difference with Gift Aid

By adding a £0.00 donation to your booking and choosing Gift Aid, our charity can receive £0.00 from the UK government to fund our important conservation work to protect and restore wildlife.

Gift Aid means we can claim an extra 25p on top of every £1 you spend on tickets

Donate £0.00

Great News!

We can claim Gift Aid on your booking, which means the government will give us an extra 25p on top of every £1 you spend with us.

That means our charity would get an additional £8.25 donation at no cost to you, just by clicking the button below

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in this tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Afterglow

Coming to the zoo this August, Afterglow brings live music, giant puppets and a land of dinosaurs, plus pop-up performances, classic fairground food and more.

You'll also be able to see animals across the zoo, with many of our indoor habitats open into the evening too, offering a rare chance to explore after hours.

Join us for an evening with a true festival feel, right here at the zoo.
