Standalone Farm is bringing you closer than ever to the amazing creatures that usually stay hidden from view. Educational Encounters invites children and families to meet an exciting line‑up of lizards, mini‑beasts, and wonderfully weird creepy crawlies in a safe, friendly, and interactive setting hosted by our resident exotic animal specialist, Mark Amey.

What to Expect

Meet real animals, learn how they move, eat, and survive, and discover what makes each species so extraordinary.

Children can observe textures, colours, and behaviours while our resident expert, Mark Amey, shares fascinating facts and answer curious questions.

Perfect for young explorers who love nature, animals, and discovering the unexpected.

A wild twist on the traditional Summer outing, blending education with excitement for the whole family.

Each show will last approximately 30 mins, with a photo opportunity afterwards.

The recommended age for the show is 3+

The show will be held in our barn, which is enclosed and protected from wet weather.

All tickets are non-refundable and will take place in all weathers.
