Could you be a wildlife keeper?

Have you ever watched an Animal Keeper working with the animals and wished you could join in? Then it’s time to roll up your sleeves, put on your boots, get your hands dirty and join our Animal Keepers at The Chestnut Centre for a day to remember.

Your experience will start at 9:00 am and finish around 4.30pm. You will be met at the centre by your personal wildlife keeper who will give you quick health and safety and your special t-shirt to wear.

During the day you will have the opportunity to make up the various animals diets and feed them, clean out sleeping boxes, water baths and food trays etc. Make an enrichment toy then watch the otters play with it or ignore it! Also have the chance to feed the otters, deer and many of the other animals.

Through out the day you will be accompanied by one of our experienced and friendly Animal Keepers who will ensure that you have an exciting day.

You need to be reasonably fit and over 18 years of age. Please note due to health reasons pregnant women and anyone suffering from a suppressant illness will not be able to join us.
