A Day Out That Makes a Difference

Because Hopefield is a working sanctuary caring for hundreds of animals, every ticket helps support the ongoing welfare and care of animals who need us most. It’s a fun family day out with purpose — your visit helps fund food, shelter, medical care and lifelong sanctuary.

Booking ahead is recommended as this is one of the most popular Easter events in Essex each year – plus online tickets are discounted versus buying on the door. Don’t forget EVERY penny goes back into caring for the rescued animals you’ll see while you’re at Hopefield!

We can’t wait to welcome you for a weekend full of laughter, springtime fun and animal adventures.
