About Wriggly Roadshow

We’re a Manchester-based animal handling company with over 10 years of experience – and we love what we do! From birthday parties and kids clubs to schools, events, fetes and care homes, we bring our amazing animals to you for unforgettable encounters.

Our mission? To put smiles on faces, spark curiosity, and create magical moments with creatures from around the world. Meeting animals also helps children build confidence, empathy and positive values – so it’s fun and educational!

We’re fully licensed, insured (up to £10 million), and DBS checked. Safety and welfare for both humans and animals is always our top priority.

Parties

Want a party everyone will remember? Our exotic friends steal the show! Children and adults can meet, hold, and learn about animals they may have only seen in books or at the zoo. Expect laughter, amazement, and plenty of photo opportunities!

Events

Hosting something bigger? We deliver interactive encounters that bring events to life. Whether it’s a festival, fair, or community day, our expert team ensures a smooth, safe and memorable experience.

Fetes

Need a unique attraction? Our workshops delight families with snakes, lizards, hedgehogs, creepy crawlies and more. We also provide all equipment – gazebo, tables, sanitiser – so you don’t have to.

Kids Clubs & Schools

Learning has never been this exciting! Sessions can be tailored to your curriculum, blending education with wow-factor encounters. Children discover fascinating facts about habitats, behaviour and conservation in a fun, age-appropriate way.

Nursing & Care Homes

Exotic animals in care homes? Absolutely! Our therapy sessions bring joy, conversation and uplifting new experiences for residents.

Amazing service! Loved by kids and the parents.

James was absolutely amazing with the children at my son's 6th birthday party. He kept them all engaged for over an hour. The range of animals he had to choose from was great, and the kids and adults both had the best time looking at, learning about, and holding the animals. Highly recommend.

Fantastic from start to finish

Thank you so much to James for making our daughter’s 6th birthday party an absolute hit with not just her, but all the children. He was kind and funny, made my daughter feel special by letting her hold and touch the reptiles first with it being her birthday and then everyone got to hold/pet each reptile too. He was very informative and kept the children entertained for the full hour. We loved having him at the party and couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you again :-)

Brilliant experience

James was brilliant. He kept 24 kids of mixed ages engaged throughout. He also made sure that everyone that wanted to got a turn holding the animals. Thank you so much James! We will definitely recommend you

a Fantastic addition to our Christmas event

James and he's mini friends were amazing. James was early, set up really fast and interacted so well with Children and carers. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions the inquisitive children had for him. Our agency would highly recommend him for any event big or small to transform it.
