If you’re looking for a Christmas gift with a difference this year, then why not consider supporting our charity with something special from our Sanctuary?
We have the perfect gift for every animal lover, from animal adoptions to annual memberships and unforgettable experiences behind the scenes. And don’t forget, our Sanctuary, Café and Gift Shop are open every day except Christmas Day and Boxing Day during the festive season, so there’s plenty of time to pop in and pick up your Christmas presents in person while visiting our rescued animals!
Benji and Balu book
Hot off the press! Our new children’s book about Benji and Balu’s journey to the Isle of Wight, written and illustrated by Bear Thompson, is now available to purchase at the Sanctuary or from our online shop. With beautiful illustrations on every page, this is the perfect story to share together at Christmastime.
2026 Calendar
Our new 2026 calendar means you can spend the whole year ahead with our rescued animals! Each month features a stunning photo from our photographer, Chris Boyce, including our bears, big cats and more. Our 2026 calendar is available to purchase at the Sanctuary and from our online shop.
Animal Adoptions
Support the ongoing care of our animal residents with an annual animal adoption, starting from £15 per year. Our adoption packs are 100% digital, making them the perfect sustainable gift this Christmas, and each animal adoption includes an admission ticket to our Sanctuary which is valid for 12 months!
Annual Memberships
Give the gift of year-round access to the Sanctuary with an annual membership this Christmas! We’re open throughout the winter, so your loved ones can start using their membership when we reopen after our festive break on 27th December. Annual memberships start from just £40, with joint and family memberships also available.
Animal Experiences
For an extraordinary Christmas gift they will never forget, why not choose from one of our once-in-a-lifetime animal experiences! We have a range of experiences to suit most budgets, from our popular Lion and Tiger Feeds to our new Bear Experience, now available to book for 2026.
Gift Vouchers
Our new gift vouchers can be used for Sanctuary admissions, experiences and memberships, as well as in our café or shop, and are valid for 12 months after the date of purchase. If you’re not sure which present your loved ones will like best, then our gift vouchers are the ideal solution!
