The British Wildlife Centre lies in the heart of the East Surrey countryside and provides a great day out for all ages and a real natural history experience. It’s home to the finest collection of native species in the country, where you will see and learn about Britain’s own wonderful wildlife, with over forty different species from tiny harvest mice to magnificent red deer and everything in between!

Here you will have the opportunity to see up-close rarely seen species such as otters, Scottish wildcats and pine martens, as well as foxes, badgers in their sett, otters in their ponds and beautiful free-flying British owls. The Centre has the UK’s first Walk-through Red Squirrel Enclosure allowing you to walk amongst free-ranging red squirrels in their own wooded Copse. The popular Keeper Talks give you the chance to learn more about these animals and the challenges they face in the wild, while seeing them even closer as they are being fed. The Centre offers so much to see and provides excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.

The Centre is open every Saturday, Sunday, and is also open during state school holidays (dates listed on website). It offers free parking, picnic areas, a coffee shop and a wildlife themed gift shop. It is wheelchair accessible. The Centre is on the A22, 10 minutes south from the M25 (jcn 6).
