Our Amazing Animal World
WHETHER YOU’RE FEELING BRAVE ENOUGH TO HOLD A LARGE PYTHON, OR
YOU’D PREFER A CUDDLE WITH A SUPER SOFT CHINCHILLA, OUR AMAZING
ANIMAL WORLD OFFERS AN ARRAY OF EXPERIENCES TO APPEAL TO THE ANIMAL
LOVER IN EVERYONE.
Mark and Jerry launched their
mobile menagerie in 2015, when
their love of offering a home to
unwanted animals found them
with a rather large furry and
scaly family. Starting small, and
in between their day jobs, the pair
began offering a range of animal
experiences and party packages
to appeal to all ages. Their mission
is to educate both children and
adults in a fresh, fun and
entertaining way while offering
a unique opportunity to meet
some amazing animals.
Two years on and the business
has grown enough for Mark and
his sister Kate to work full time
and for Jerry to help at weekends
to cover the ever-increasing
number of bookings. With
animals ranging from cuddly
chinchillas and meerkats to large
snakes and lizards, the pair have
offered a home to some ‘really
amazing animals’ and love
sharing their family with you.
Here’s a snapshot of what the team can offer you:
PARTIES
A large selection of birthday parties to suit all ages
ranging from intimate ‘meet and greets’ to larger
celebrations and lavish VIP packages. There is
something for everyone in these carefully created
encounters.
SCHOOLS
Jerry is a qualified teacher with an ‘outstanding’ from
Ofsted and loves to help create learning experiences
with a difference. Using memorable facts and a
wealth of information, the handlers assist the animals
in schools enabling the children to learn and
experience directly from the animals themselves.
CARE HOMES
Described as some of the most rewarding work the
team does, visiting care homes, day units and
hospices brings comfort and sensory experiences
to patients and their families.
CLUBS
After school and social clubs are a great place to be
introduced to some amazing animals in a relaxed,
fun and informative way. Cub and Brownie groups
are always a very popular visit for the team.
SEN EXPERIENCES
Both Jerry and Mark have lots of experience working
in the area of SEN (special educational needs). Mark
worked with both children and adults at Mencap,
and Jerry is a qualified SEN teacher with many years
of experience specialising in children with learning
and behavioural difficulties. With this in mind, they
offer unique sensory experiences with a focus on
real sensory animals to help in a therapeutic way.
GIFTS
Each year, the Our Amazing Animal World gift
certificates have been a huge hit providing an
opportunity for people to give loved ones a
unique gift.

Heath, but are happy to travel to your home for a
