🎄 2:15 PM: Festive Animal Encounters

Festive Animal Encounters at Founders & Co, Swansea

Wednesday 30 December | 2:15pm to 3:15pm

Looking for something to do in that quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year? Join Animal Cwtch for a relaxed, hands-on animal encounter for the whole family.

You’ll meet around 6–8 of our animal ambassadors, learn about their lives and adaptations, and enjoy opportunities to see and handle them up close.

Animals may include snakes, lizards, tarantulas, owls, small mammals and other fascinating species. The exact animals attending cannot be guaranteed and may change depending on their health, behaviour and welfare needs on the day. Every interaction is carefully guided by our experienced team, with each animal’s welfare and individual choice coming first.

A gift with a difference

If you’re looking for a present that isn’t another thing to find a home for, tickets make a lovely experience gift for children, grandchildren or the whole family. It gives everyone something to look forward to once the presents are opened.

Our Halloween encounters sold out, so if you missed out last time, we’d suggest booking early.

Ticket information:

• £8 per person, plus booking fees
• Every adult and child taking part in the encounter needs a ticket
• Each session is limited to a maximum of 20 people, and some sessions may be smaller
• Christmas jumpers and festive outfits are very welcome

The encounters will take place in the Potting Shed, which is inside Founders & Co. Adults who don’t want to join the encounter don’t need to buy a ticket and can watch through the window from inside Founders & Co.

Please arrive shortly before your booked time. Sessions must begin and finish promptly, so late arrival may mean missing part of the experience.

Tickets are non-refundable, but they may be transferred to another person if you can no longer attend. Please contact us in writing before the event to let us know about any name changes.
