About Living Things

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with the Living Things Wildlife Show at your event!

Our passionate handlers are eager to introduce you to our incredible animals and share their inspiring stories.

Get up close with nature’s wonders and experience the wild world in a fun, interactive way. From meerkats standing tall on guard to sugar gliders soaring through the air, and snake slither and scurrying across the floor…prepare to be amazed!

But that’s not all! Our experiences go beyond just learning. You’ll have the chance to engage with our animals, interact with them up close, and truly connect with the creatures we care for.

Our enthusiastic presenters share fascinating tales of our rescued and rehomed animals, showcasing how they’ve adapted to thrive in the wild. We believe in teaching respect for all living things while ensuring a fun and educational experience for everyone.

At Living Things, we make wildlife come to life through entertaining, hands-on experiences that leave a lasting impact.

Our Story

Founded in 2012 with the rescue of our first meerkat, Steve, Living Things has been dedicated to providing unforgettable wildlife experiences. What started as a single encounter with school children quickly turned into a passion for fostering respect and appreciation for all Living Things.

Today, our team proudly wears our logo, featuring Steve’s silhouette, as a symbol of our commitment to animal welfare. Our journey has led us to rescue numerous animals and provided a loving homes for countless unwanted pets. Our thriving menagerie of exotic animals at The Burrows, our very own premises and headquarters, showcases our dedication to their well-being.

Exactly as wanted

Excellent communication helped me pick Living Things from initial suppliers. The party was exactly as we had discussed for a 5 year old all class party. He loves animals so loved the whole experience and the presenter held the attention for the 1 hour. Thanks for supplying this party

Such a brilliant time 10/10!

Dolly was lovely, the whole service was communicative, relaxed and exactly as they said. Adults and kids had a brilliant time, was just the right length, kids were engaged and adults had fun too. Direct quote from a guest 'this was the best party i've ever been to'. Birthday boy felt special and Dolly was great at managing the kids. A very special birthday party. Thanks Living Things, Dolly and the animals!

So fun!

Tasha was fantastic! It’s hard to keep 30 four and five year olds engaged for an hour but they were absolutely enthralled. Would highly recommend!
