Keeper for the Day
Help our keepers with the Penguins, Meerkats and Prairie Dogs, as well as a host of other furry and feathered friends.
Our Keeper for the Day scheme is a unique treat for anyone who is mad about animals. Working side by side with one of our Keepers for a whole day, you’ll get nose to nose with nature and experience many close animal encounters.

Discover exactly what it is like to feed, clean and care
for a variety of furry and feathered friends, including lemurs, meerkats, penguins and capybaras. For more  information and to check availability please telephone Angela Hale on 01323 874100 or email her at angela.hale@drusillas.co.uk. (Please bear in mind that weekends are often booked up two or three months in advance).

For more detailed information about being a keeper for the day please download the information pack.
