Easter at Michelham Priory House & Gardens: History, Nature and Exotic Critters

Get up close and personal with a live exotic animal show by ZooLab

Snakes, frogs, a tarantula, cockroaches and more. This ethical animal encounter lasts for one hour, offering the opportunity to see real creatures and critters up close and perhaps handle them if you’re feeling brave!

Tickets include entry to Michelham Priory House & Gardens, making it a wonderful day out for all ages.

While you are there…

Explore our Tudor mansion as each room takes you to a different era in time. From the atmospheric medieval under-croft, to the charming World War II evacuee’s bedroom, there is history and storytelling around each corner.

Children can enjoy our outdoor adventure playground, and perhaps a spot of dressing-up.

Our stunning gardens have sprung into life, with over 80,000 daffodils filling the seven acres of grounds with glorious bursts of gold and yellow.

The brand new Blue Door Cafe will be open throughout the day, serving delicious barista coffee, hot and cold food, cakes and more.
