Cuddle Day

A fabulous time was had by all (especially the animals!) at our most recent Cuddle Day. This particular cuddle event was just before hallowe’en so some of the scariest snakes and scariest spiders were available, along with some particular cute and fluffy friends for those not quite so daring.

Here’s what was said:
Lovely afternoon, such friendly staff and a great range of creatures to hold!” Jill Sedgley

“Lovely afternoon, very well organised! Thank you” Lynne Taylor

Birthday Party Daventry
Cuddle Day at Whilton Locks

It’s always a great event especially now we have our own dedicated area for the Cuddle parties – which due to lot’s of requests are available as Birthday Parties now too!

If you’d like a special cuddle event for your special day then please get in touch.
