Adults-Only Festive Animal Evening at Founders & Co, Swansea

Wednesday 30 December | 7pm–8:30pm | Strictly ages 18+

Looking for something different to do in the days between Christmas and New Year?

Grab a drink from the bar at Founders & Co and join Animal Cwtch for 90 minutes of adults-only animal encounters — meeting, holding and learning about some truly fascinating animals.

You’ll meet around 8+ of our animal ambassadors, discover their lives and adaptations, and enjoy opportunities to see and handle them up close. Whether you’re curious about snakes, fascinated by spiders or just fancy a relaxed evening out with friends or family, it’s a calm, curious way to spend a winter evening.

Animal welfare always comes first. Every interaction is carefully guided by our experienced team and led by each animal’s comfort and individual choice. There’s no pressure for you to hold anything, either — watching and learning are all part of the experience.

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.

A gift with a difference

Tickets make a thoughtful experience gift for a partner, friend or family member who loves animals — something to enjoy together rather than another thing to unwrap.

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

Ticket information:

• £12 per person, plus booking fee
• Strictly ages 18+
• Everyone taking part in the encounter needs a ticket
• Christmas jumpers and festive outfits are very welcome
• Drinks can be purchased separately from the Founders & Co bar

The encounter will take place in the Potting Shed, inside Founders & Co, Swansea.

Please arrive shortly before 7pm. The encounter 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 aged 18 or over if you can no longer attend. Please contact us in writing before the event to let us know about any name changes.
