Live And Wild Weekend Wriggling Into Tapnell Farm Park This September

Tapnell Farm Park is preparing for a weekend of squirming, wriggling, and wild fun as The Live and Wild Weekend arrives next month (September).

The two day event on the 14th & 15th September promises a thrilling combination of educational entertainment, hands-on experiences, and family fun, perfect for those who are crackers about creepy crawlies!

Live & Wild Show

Prepare to be entertained and educated with the Live & Wild Show – an exciting performance that’s guaranteed to enthral audiences of all ages.

Delivered with a healthy dose of comedy, challenges, and interactive fun, this show invites everyone to learn through laughter.

With a focus on creepy crawlies and reptiles, participants will get the chance to meet fascinating creatures up close, including Snakes, Leopard Geckos, Hissing Cockroaches, and Giant Snails. While children will have the opportunity to hold many of these animals, for safety reasons, some will only be available for close-up observation.

Get Me Outta Here!
Do you have what it takes to face your fears? The Get Me Outta Here! show is not for the faint-hearted! Featuring challenges like "What's in the Box?" and a host of surprise encounters with animals, this show will have you giggling, gasping, and wanting more.

Expect to meet snakes, lizards, and bugs as you push yourself to the limit in this thrilling experience. While all ages can watch this show, for safety reasons, only those over 11 years old will be able to come on stage and participate in the interactive elements of the show. 

Additional Weekend Highlights:

  • Slime Making: Get your hands dirty creating your own gooey slime (£5 per person).
  • Fancy Dress Competition: Come dressed as your favourite animal for a chance to win fantastic prizes.
  • Farm Park Fun: Enjoy jumping pillows, peddle go-karts, sledge slides, trampolines, mini golf, soft play, and so much more!  
  • Daily animal activities: Don’t miss out on Barn time, Goat feeding, Wallaby feeding, Meerkat talks, and Bugs and Beasties meet and greets.

Whether you're an animal enthusiast or simply looking for a unique day out, Tapnell Farm Park’s Live & Wild Weekend has something for everyone. Tickets must be purchased online in advance. For full details and to plan your visit, please go to www.tapnellfarm.com/events.
