Pets on the Green
We bring the animals to you — across Surrey and the surrounding area
Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Brownies, Rainbows, Guides, holiday clubs, after-school clubs, schools, youth groups and adult day centres across Surrey.
A hands-on session with up to 10 species, tailored to the age and interests of your group. Everyone handles, strokes and feeds under our supervision, and there’s always room for questions.
Great for animal care and wildlife badge work — we can shape the session around a badge requirement if you tell us in advance. We can make it as educational as you like, and we can bring real skulls and animal sheds to teach with on request.
Pricing is based on the number of children taking part. Accompanying teachers, leaders and helpers aren’t counted or charged. For adult day centres and supported living services, we count the adults taking part the same way.
| Taking part | Our staff | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 20 | 2 | £250 |
| Up to 35 | 3 | £350 |
| Up to 50 | 4 | £425 |
For larger groups needing more than one session. Prices below are based on three groups of up to 40 children each — around 120 children across the morning. Larger groups, or a fourth session, are quoted separately. That works out at around £6 per child for a hands-on session with our full team on site all morning.
For longer bookings we bring a wider selection of species at no extra cost, so every animal gets proper rest across the morning and none of them is overworked.
| Option | What happens | Price |
|---|---|---|
| A — All-In Morning most popular | A 15–30 minute whole-group welcome, assembly-style, every animal introduced by name with a fun fact — then three 45-minute sessions. The welcome settles the children and makes the handling flow far better. | £700 |
| B — Extended Morning | The welcome assembly plus three full one-hour sessions. For groups this size it gives every child noticeably more hands-on time — the one we would recommend if the budget stretches. | £825 |
| C — Sessions Only, 45 minutes | Straight into three 45-minute sessions. | £625 |
| D — Sessions Only, full hour | Three full one-hour sessions. | £750 |
Structured group sessions are the usual choice: each group comes through in turn, with a short turnaround between them to clean up, reset the animals and settle the next group.
Continuous, fair-style also works, with children coming and going throughout — the animals simply take shorter, more frequent rest breaks so their welfare stays front and centre.
The 15-minute changeovers between groups are included as working time — cleaning up, resetting the animals, settling the next group. The half-hour welfare break before the final group isn’t charged at all. Our animals work hard across a morning and we never overwork them, so your last group meets settled, happy animals rather than tired ones.
Our staff are on site throughout and included in the price. We supervise everything animal-side and lead all handling. We ask your teachers or leaders to stay with their group — keeping everyone seated during handling, and making sure nobody goes near the carriers or opens enclosures.
