About

Join us at Prittlewell Priory during the Easter holidays for 'Wildlife Weekend', a fun family event with animal handling, crafting, face painting, an activity trail and more!

This Easter, pop down to the priory for a spring celebration of all creatures great and small, and learn how to support our local wildlife. The team from Exotic Explorers will be bringing some furry and feathery (and even scaly!) friends along for hands on animal experiences and handling. Then, have a close encounter of the cheesy kind with a an amazingly oozey toastie from Melt, who will be serving up food including grilled toasties, baps and fresh pastries as well as a range of hot and cold drinks.
Have your face painted like your favourite animal, get creative with a critter craft to take home with you, visit stalls from local wildlife organisations to find out how we can care for the animals around us and try your hand at some silly, seasonal games and kids activities.
We hear some cheeky creatures from the park have been causing all sorts of mischief at the priory, make sure you help us complete the scavenger hunt during your visit to solve their puzzle and win a prize!

Under 3's go free! Prebooking for this event is essential.
