About The Petsman - Animal Encounters

We have a great selection of animals reptiles insects which we bring to schools, care homes, children's parties, beaver's, cubs, brownies clubs and local events etc.

We can cater for most places. Some of the animals from our collection are: Barney the barn owl, Nibbles the guinea pig, Piddles the rabbit, Woody the wood owl and new addition Berney the female barn owl. All the animals are well looked after and cared for.

So with Animal Encounters we offer a great handling/touching animal experience while learning some great facts about them. We run sessions that usually last an hour but we are happy to stay longer if required. The animals that I bring will depend on the length of time your session is booked for.

Brilliant for a kids party

Geoff was absolutely brilliant, from advising on how best to set up to accommodate 30 kids to being really patient with everyone. His communication in the run-up was good and he just made my daughter’s 6th birthday so special. He has a good range of animals but the owls were a particular hit, and quite rarely seen on the petting party scene. Thank you so much Geoff, we all had a great day!

A great amount of time to hold the animals

The kids and adults absolutely loved this. Some really cool animals! Would have liked more information about the animals but all in all we really enjoyed the experience! X

An excellent immersive experience

Geoff came to my son’s 9th Birthday and provided an exceptional interactive animal experience my son and his class friends throughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend the animal handling experience as it is delivered with a great deal of knowledge patience and professionalism. Geoff let the children in turn handle the animals he showcased allowing the children to ask questions along the way and if a child wasn’t so keen to handle a certain type he wouldn’t push it and allowed them space. The micro guinea pig was something we have never seen before, My son’s favourite was the tarantula, he even got me to hold it and I have got the most irrational fear of spiders! Thank you Geoff for providing an amazing experience we will never forget

Response from The Petsman - Animal Encounters
Thank you for your great review. I'm really happy everyone enjoyed the experience. It's really great when you see the interest in the animals and the children handling animals that they would not normally get to do. Also it was good to see everyone handling the animals to get over their fears and phobias. Thank you for with booking us. Kind regards Animal Encounters with the Petsman

Fantastic pricing for the service.

Fantastic pricing for the service. Would recommend for a child’s birthday party. Every child offered an opportunity without pressure and loved the variety of animal options.

Amazing party and lovely animals

Geoff brought a very fun array of animals and all the children got to hold them and he was very patient with them. There were snakes, bearded dragons, tarantulas, guinea pigs, skinny pigs and all sorts. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an animal encounters party.
