Amazing Animals: Forests & Conservation

When: August 17, 2026 to August 21, 2026 Time: 10:00 am to 04:00 pm Cost: £6 Suitable for: 3+ Event category: Animals

Venue: Christchurch Mansion

The live animals are back! Join us for a special series of Amazing Animals throughout the Summer, exploring different habitats. On Monday 17th August and Friday 21st August we will be meeting animals from forests and learning about wildlife conservation.

Sessions are one hour each and start at 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 2 PM and 3 PM.

Parents and carers are required to stay with their children throughout the session. The event is recommended for children aged 3 and above, as those under 3 will not be able to handle the animals.

All adults and children attending must purchase a ticket. Babies in arms do not need a ticket, but they will not be permitted to touch the animals.

Please visit the Colchester & Ipswich Museums website to book a space

Each session is limited to 40 participants due to space restrictions in the Great Hall. Staff reserve the right to turn away anyone who has not booked. Please ensure that every member of your group who wishes to take part has a valid ticket before arriving.

For useful information, such as how to find us and what facilities Christchurch Mansion has, we recommend reading the Access information here
