About Animal Parties

 

Nick Spellman (AnimalMan Nick) and Stuart Short (Ranger Stu) have been providing articulate and entertaining presentations for all their working lives. Their passion is to inspire and educate children whatever the occasion -birthday parties, school visits and corporate events. The 'off site' presentations is their primary revenue stream that funds their very own community zoo. The zoo, 'Cedars Nature Centre' is free to enter and located in East Herts (junc 25 on M25).

"The presentations we offer provide you and your guests with a fantastic experience as well as allowing us to fund our community zoo, which helps us with conservation and breeding programmes with other zoos in the UK and beyond."

More about our birthday party packages...

Our presentations are designed to give children aged from 4 years and above chances to learn more about many exotic animals. We allow plenty of opportunities for the birthday child and all their friends to handle live species including; Birds, Invertebrates, Reptiles and Mammals. We have a frequently asked question section to help you plan a child's birthday party with animals.

Schools and other events...

Our presentations don't just suit a child's birthday party, we also provide our expertise for school visits, PTA fetes and events, clubs, organisations and corporate events. Navigate, via this link, to find out how to integrate an animal presentation for schools in London. We also cover the surrounding home counties with this event too. Of course, we will happily travel further afield, so if you are based in Beds, Bucks, Northants, Cambs, Suffolk, Norfolk, East or West Sussex, Hants, Gloucs, Wilts, Oxon, Warcks, Peterborough or Huntingdon, we will come to you too! We have detailed the costs involved for travel to the London Boroughs and counties within this website.

The welfare of our animals is our utmost concern, so we limit travel to a maximum of 3 hours. Our zoo is based in East Herts.
