☀️ What a summer it’s been at Wingham Wildlife Park! 🐾

As summer comes to a close, we’ve been looking back at what has been an incredible few months here at the park.

From our wide variety of Character Days, the return of our popular Crested Beauty – A Night for Vietnam’s Pheasants, and our unforgettable VIP Tours, to some exciting firsts for Wingham, including our very first Into the Wild Nights and, of course, our first ever Members’ Evening! 🎉

And who could forget one of the biggest moments of the summer! The grand opening of Phase One of our Wild Expansion! 🦁🌿

It’s certainly been a summer to remember, and we’d love for you to join us in looking back at some of our favourite highlights.

📸 Now we want to see yours! Did you visit us this summer? Drop your favourite photos in the comments below 💚

The votes are in… and our penguin chicks have names! 🐧

You’ve spoken, the votes have been counted, and we’re thrilled to reveal that our two chicks are officially Puddles and Pebbles! 🥰

A huge thank you to everyone who voted and helped us choose their names. We think you’ve made a very good choice! 👏

And it turns out Head of Birds Becky isn’t just brilliant at looking after our birds… but she also knows how to pick a perfect penguin name (or two!) 😉

Now you know their names, make sure you keep an eye out for Puddles and Pebbles on your next visit! 💙
