What an absolutely brilliant morning we have had for our 7th daughter's birthday. Mo was fantastic with the children, educational and knowledgeable and also able to keep their attention for an hour. The adults loved it just as much as the kids. We will see you again!

We booked the Deadly 60 animal encounter with Animals in Hands as part of a 40th birthday celebration and it was absolutely fantastic. Mo was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly very passionate about his animals, which made the whole experience even better. Everyone had the chance to hold the animals without feeling rushed, and there were lots of laughs and plenty of great photo opportunities. This is such a brilliant animal experience for parties or special occasions, and it created a wonderful memory for us all. Highly recommend Animals in Hands we will definitely be booking again!

We had a great day with Mo from Animals in Hands. Here is some of our teacher's feedback. Nursery The Animal Man was absolutely fantastic with the nursery children! He kept them engaged and excited throughout the session, explaining everything in a way they could understand. The children loved meeting the animals up close, and he made sure everyone felt safe and involved. It was a fun, educational experience that sparked lots of curiosity and conversation afterwards. We all loved it! Reception Reception thoroughly enjoyed their Animals in Hands session, there was a lovely range of nocturnal animals to experience. The facts about each animal, that were shared with the children, were engaging and appropriate for their age/ stage of development. The children were still talking about their session, sharing the facts they'd learnt with excitement throughout the week. Year 1 The children thoroughly enjoyed Animals in hands! They loved having the opportunity to hold a great range of animals and learn new facts. The session linked well to our Science topic and we were able to make links to learning when we got back into the classroom. Mo was brilliant with the children - he was engaging, answered the children's questions, the session was pitched well to the age of our children and Mo was very understanding when working with our SEND children. Thank you so much. Year 2 The children were absolutely fascinated by the animals and couldn't stop asking questions throughout the session. Mo was very informative and he made the session exciting and memorable.

We booked Animals in Hands for my son’s fourth birthday party and it was something he will never forget! Mo was so patient with the children who were probably more unpredictable than the animals… super professional and offered a really interesting selection of exotic animals to get close to and learn about. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We booked Mo for our daughter’s 8th Birthday party and we were so pleased as he was wonderful with the children, had a great collection of animals to show them and pitched his session perfectly. If you are considering booking Mo for a birthday party, I would 100% encourage you to do so. The party was originally requested by my daughter after seeing Mo visit her school - she really loved the session in school and loved her party too. Thanks Mo for making the party so memorable!

We had a party ran by Mo for my son’s 6th birthday today and it was incredible. The kids were all captivated (as were the adults!) and Mo was excellent at keeping all 25 children under control and educating them all. It was just brilliant and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you

Mo joined our son's 6th Birthday party. Mo was so calm and kind with the children and made the birthday boy feel really special. Mo had so much knowledge and care for the animals. It was a birthday he will never forget.

Long before Animals in Hands began trading, I was already rescuing unwanted exotic animals. Over the years, that work grew naturally, and Animals in Hands was established to support and expand that rescue mission.

Today, we care for over 150 animals, the majority of which are rescues. Many of these animals have been abandoned, neglected, or simply given up by owners who could no longer provide the specialised care they need.

Rescue work has always been at the heart of what we do.

If you would like to support our rescue work and help us continue providing lifelong care for these animals, you can donate here:
