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

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.
