Meet A Creature's animal handling workshops bring the school science curriculum to life, allowing pupils to see – and feel – the differences between animal groups.

Our fascinating collection includes reptiles, amphibians, mammals and insects and each has been hand-reared to ensure they are relaxed and happy to be handled.

We offer a range of workshops linked to the primary and secondary school curriculums and can also provide bespoke presentations to address particular natural science subjects.

Our experienced Rangers have enhanced CRB checks and are fully covered by public liability insurance. Risk assessments are also supplied as standard.

Below are a list of workshops and a brief outline of their content however we are flexible and can, as mentioned, tailor any workshop to meet your needs.
