You’re invited to escape the ordinary and reconnect with nature at Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park and YorkMix!
Since opening to visitors in 2017, Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park serves as a hub for the local community, welcoming 20,000 visitors a year as well as hosting schools, young people and other local community groups for tours, talks and workshops!
The park itself is home to over 100 species of mammal, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates – many of which are threatened.
During your visit, you’ll see all the Lemurs, Meerkats, Otters, Alpacas, farm animals galore, amphibians, reptiles and so much more!

Laura and Leigh visited the park, and managed to get up close and personal with a mob of Meerkats, and that’s exactly what you could be doing by entering our latest competition!
We’re giving you the chance to win admission for you and your family to the Park PLUS a Meerkat Encounter package! You’ll get the chance to immerse yourself with the meerkat mob and actually go in with them and the keeper team to experience dinner time on the plains of the Savannah! You’ll even assist with feeding and training!
To enter the competition, simply watch the video of Laura and Leigh’s visit to Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park and answer the question at the end!
Good luck!
