The Big Cat Sanctuary - Home Ed Days
Join us this September and October for our award-nominated Home Education Days at The Big Cat Sanctuary.
Designed specifically for home-educating families, these dedicated learning days offer a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating world of wild cats, conservation and animal welfare in an inspiring setting.
Through themed activities, interactive learning opportunities, Mini Meets and self-guided exploration, learners of all ages can discover how cats are adapted to survive in the wild, how conservationists work to protect threatened species, and the important role modern zoos play in conservation.
Led by our Conservation Education team, each day combines hands-on learning with real-world conservation, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking and a deeper connection to wildlife.
We are also proud to share that our Home Education Programme was recognised as Runner-Up in the Education Category at the 2026 BIAZA (British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums) Annual Awards.
