Howletts, Kent’s original wildlife park, not only houses some of the world’s most endangered and rare animals but is now also set to play host to some of the most popular animated species this summer holiday. The PAW Patrol team, Peppa Pig family, PJ Masks gang, Hey Duggee and Bluey and Bingo will be visiting Howletts on select dates throughout August to meet and greet their fans.

Every Wednesday throughout August a beloved TV character will be meeting young fans at intervals throughout the day on Howletts’ open-air grasslands, close to the popular Pavilion
Café. Bring the whole family to make special memories and get some great photos on the following dates:

2nd August: PAW Patrol – Meet Chase, Marshall, Rubble and Skye

9th August: Peppa Pig – Meet Peppa Pig, George Pig, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig

16th August: PJ Masks – Meet Catboy, Gekko and Owlette

23rd August: Hey Duggee – Meet Duggee

30th August: Bluey and Bingo – Meet Bluey and Bingo

Multiple special appearances from the characters will take place on each date so keep an eye on the Howletts website for times.

The chance to meet your favourite character is included in the cost of your Howletts day entry ticket.

Day entry ticket prices are, adults £24.50, child £20 (3-15) and under 3’s go free, BUT if you purchase a family annual pass for just £250 you could attend ALL five events!
Visiting us five times throughout the summer would normally cost £445 for a family of four, so an annual pass could save families £195!

As well as unlimited access to Howletts, the Annual Pass also gives you FULL access to Port Lympne Reserve, including seats on the iconic truck safari, along with a 20% discount
at selected catering outlets in both parks.

With 90 acres to explore, the beautiful ancient parkland is home to 390 animals, including the UK’s largest herd of elephants, generations of gorillas as well as monkeys, leopards
and giant anteaters. Join our free animal talks, watch the animals being fed, walk side-by-side with our lively Lemurs at our Walking With Lemurs experience and discover creatures from a forgotten time as you explore Animals of the Ice Age in our leafy Woodland
Walk.

If you want to make your day extra special, book in for a close encounter with your favourite animal. Visitors can choose unforgettable experiences including feeding the elephants,
going behind the scenes with the gorillas, meeting black rhinos, scattering healthy snacks for red river hogs or even hand feeding anteaters, prices starting at £15.
