- **Event Name**: Meet the Animals at Heart of the Shires - for Free!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 26 Aug, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Wed, 26 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come and join the FREE fun at Heart of the Shires Shopping Village.

Meet the Animals offers a great opportunity to interact with a variety of animals, amphibians and reptiles. Experts handlers, with knowledge of all the animals, will be on hand to ensure the best possible experience for you and the up-most care for the animals. 

These experiences are very safe, educational and, at Heart of the Shires, it’s FREE. The event will be set up within the Bandstand, in the main courtyard and around the site at Heart of the Shires Shopping Village.

The fantastic furry family includes skinny pigs, bunnies, bearded dragons, tarantulas, snakes, African land snails, cockroaches, African pygmy hedgehogs, giant rabbits, guinea pigs and tortoises. Our hands-on experience gives people the opportunity to learn about a variety of our fluffy friends. Our experienced staff create a calm and comfortable environment for both our visitors and our animals. This allows people to connect with nature and overcome any fears they may have of our friends with eight legs or no legs at all!

Tag a friend who'd be brave enough to touch a Tarantula, stroke a snake or perhaps be happier with a hug from a Hamster.
