Swing on by and fall in love with the rescued gibbons, monkeys, owls, meerkats and other exotic creatures. Our award-winning sanctuary is hosting Love Week during half term (11-19^th February). There will be rescue stories to warm your heart, plus daily keeper talks focusing on love in its many forms – romances, bromances and there’s even a monkey who’s found happiness with his squeaky toy pig!

Rescued marmosets, Rosa, Gizmo and Winston were all ex-pets with troubled pasts but through gradual introductions we have been able to integrate them into a happy trio. Find out how all three came to live at the Haven and watch them enjoying an enriched new life with monkeys of their own kind – A happy love story for these three little monkeys.

Javan langurs, Wheat and Treacle, will no doubt be spotted having one of their many cuddles and learn of the love story between our Siamangs and Muellers gibbons. They were once living as neighbours but now live happily together under one roof in a very special and unique love story at the Haven.

There will be tasty treats in the tea room, and a chance for children to make Valentines’ card for the animals in our craft lodge. There are kids’ activity sheets and a love heart trail (you can win a treat), plus plenty of opportunities to get up close to some of the animals, including meeting the owls and seeing the rescued reptiles in the Reptile Lodge.

We’re open every day from 10am, with play areas, Wi-fi, trails, disabled access and free return within seven days. There’s a great little shop where you can snap up some unique gifts for your loved one, such as a Valentine’s adoption or a keeper for the day experience!

All proceeds from your visit will help support the animals you’ll meet. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
