Book your free visit!

It is essential to book a ticket as visitor numbers are limited for the welfare of our animals, and to provide a better visitor experience.

The area around the lakes and the dog walk are currently closed due to the Project Terrapin construction.

Aviaries close at 2pm every day for the welfare of our birds.

Christmas Jumper Day

Raise money for animals in need on Friday 8 December!

Wear your Christmas Jumper to work, school or college to raise money for Raystede!


Ditch the uniform, or work clothes for a loud Christmas jumper on Friday 8 December (or a date of your choosing) and raise money for injured and unwanted animals in need!


There is a suggested donation of £2 per participant to take part. Want to get involved? Sign up at the link below and well be in touch to help you fundraise.


Feeling particularly festive? If a Christmas jumper is just not enough to put you in the seasonal spirit, why not make more of the day with a mince pie bake sale, a raffle or a Christmas quiz? You could even turn your office Christmas party, or school disco into a fundraiser for our animals. The more, the merrier – for you and Raystede!


Dress up and join us in the spirit of Christmas giving!

When Layla arrived at Raystede we were astonished by her condition. This year we have had 1,076 requests to take in dogs, like Layla, who can no longer be cared for by their owners.

This is an animal welfare crisis.
