The sanctuary is in Nottingham, UK.

The boring but very important bit
For safety and insurance reasons, all attendees must be over the age of 18 and we advise against pregnant individuals from attending. Many of the residents are free roaming (this means that in many cases, there will not be a fence between you) and can be somewhat unpredictable, so please be vigilant and listen to and carefully follow any instructions given by our volunteers to ensure the safety of all. For this reason we recommend against any pregnant individuals from attending, and also cannot allow anyone under the age of 18 on site, particularly as some of the animals are reactive to children.
No dogs allowed at this time.
Unfortunately, at this time, accessibility is limited and visitors will be required to walk on uneven ground and through fields as part of the tour, so is not suitable for wheelchair users, those that are unsteady on their feet, or unable to walk long distances.
There are no shower facilities available at this time.
The sanctuary is home to many animals that consider this to be their safe space, and some can be understandably nervous around new and unfamiliar people. We want to ensure that all of our residents' boundaries are respected and that they are never made to feel uncomfortable or fearful in their home. Please be considerate of each resident's needs and choices, as some may not be willing to interact with visitors and we ask that you please respect their space as this is their home and safe place. For this reason, please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee which residents will come over to say hello or want their picture taken, and it is their right to avoid interaction if they wish.
Please be respectful of the fact that we are a vegan animal sanctuary, so please do not bring any animal products onto site (including anything containing meat, dairy, eggs, honey).
Camping is not mandatory, but is included in the ticket price.
The address, travel information and further details will be emailed to you at least 48 hours after you have completed your booking.
