Animal Encounters

Hands-on animal encounter sessions for children at Barton Grange, meeting spiders, snakes and other creatures with knowledgeable handlers.

Children get a hands-on opportunity to meet and learn about a variety of friendly animals, including spiders, snakes and other fascinating creatures. Knowledgeable handlers share fun facts, answer questions and ensure a safe, enjoyable visit. Each session lasts around 45 minutes and is suitable for children over the age of 3, held in The Potting Shed Studio at the back of the furniture department.
