Community Outreach
If you can’t make it to the zoo, then let us bring the zoo to you!
Our Education Team can provide visits at a venue of your choice.
Sessions outside the zoo include some of our smaller animals and we can bring animal artefacts, such as skins, bones, skulls and teeth to support learning.
We offer a range of workshops which are educational and fun, or alternatively we can create a bespoke session based on your needs and requirements.
We can cater for any establishment or group who would like a visit from us including: schools, nurseries, care homes, scout and brownie groups, fun days, church groups, corporate groups, prisons and many more! You may be after a fun treat or a more educational experience; we can cater for both.
Prices depend on distance from the zoo and length of session.
Community and Charity Group Visits
We love welcoming local community groups and charities to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm and offer special discounted rates for groups of 10 or more. We have a drop off zone for passengers and ample free parking for coaches.
To book in a visit for your charity or community group visit ring our friendly team on 01275 852606.
Farm Shop
Noah’s Ark Farm Shop aims to bring local produce to local people and zoo visitors from afar. Located in Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm’s car park, Bristol, we are proud to stock local and ethical products, free-range meats and ethical gifts.
Take away or sit and enjoy a cup of delicious Clifton Coffee (a local Bristol-based coffee company) on your next visit to us. Fresh bread, fresh fruit and vegetables are at your disposal. Maybe even take a look at our homemade cakes, pastries and pasties, all prepared by our onsite chefs!
Donations to local charities
Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm receives an overwhelming number of donations requests each month from a great number of worthy causes; therefore we have to carefully monitor the number of free entry tickets that are issued to organisations for fundraising events. As a major visitor attraction situated near Bristol, we want to support our local community as much as possible. As a result, tickets will be prioritised to either registered charities or to schools and community groups in the BS, BA, NP, GL, TA and CF postcodes.
Due to the rising postal charges and the huge demand for donations, we ask if you could please send a brief covering letter together with a stamped addressed envelope headed 'Donation Requests'. Unfortunately, we will not be able to send any donations without a stamped addressed envelope.
Only one set of tickets will be allocated to successful organisations in any twelve-month period. All applications will be considered using the above criteria by the last Friday of every month. Successful requests will be sent back by post at the beginning of each month.
Work with local charities and organisations
Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm work with local charities and organisations. From planting purple crocuses, for Purple for Polio with the Rotary club, to collection tins in our retail and catering outlets for the local children’s hospice.
