You are very welcome to visit and get a unique glimpse into our work. We are open every day between 10am and 4pm.
All visitors must book a free ticket – it’s really easy to do online or you can phone our Visitor Information team.
Booking is essential to help us control visitor numbers for the welfare of the animals in our care, many of whom are very shy and nervous and cannot cope with large numbers of people and noise. It also keeps our site safe for the animals, staff and volunteers and enables visitors to enjoy their visit and get a real insight into the day to day work of an animal welfare charity.
Our Aviaries are currently closed to the public due to avian flu restrictions which have been put in place by the UK Government. We do not have the virus at Raystede but we must do everything we can to keep our birds safe.
Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare and Peaceways Pet Crematorium are situated on the B2192, between Ringmer and Halland, opposite the East Sussex Gliding Club.
Raystede is five miles north-east of Lewes. Shortly after leaving Lewes on the A26, signposted “Uckfield”, bear right onto the B2192 signposted “Heathfield/Ringmer”.
At the Halland Roundabout, take the B2192 exit signed “Ringmer”. Raystede is two miles along this road on the right-hand side before reaching Ringmer.
