Andrew and Tracy, the owners and founders of Wolds Wildlife Park in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, share a life-long passion for animals which has shaped the park into what it is today.

All animal residents are considered as a part of the family.​

The collection began in 2013 when Andrew gifted Tracy a young female zebra, named Marty. Many animals that are present at Wolds Wildlife Park have been rehomed from a range of backgrounds.

As the park began to grow many zoological professionals commended both Andrew and Tracy on the care given to their animals and the attention to detail shown when creating each exhibit. After realising that so many people were eager to see the animals, the concept of opening the collection to the public was formed.

Andrew and Tracy decided to open their gates to the public for two days in July 2018. On the success of this weekend, the idea of opening a zoological park was born.

Over the course of the next year, the park opened for a select few days to enable visitors to see our progression and new animals to our collection. In December 2019, we successfully obtained our full zoo licence.

Construction of modern, species specific enclosures has shaped the foundation of the park; creating safe and rich exhibits from recycled materials. This rare and pioneering approach to constructing a wildlife park is a credit to Andrew and Tracy's vision.

Andrew and Tracy are very proud of their home in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The wildlife park means so much more than providing a loving home to a variety of animals but to also bringing visitors to the attractive market town of Horncastle, providing an enjoyable day out for people of all ages.

Sadly, after huge investment and thousands of hours of building work, all the excitement about opening to visitors for Easter and then summer, were tragically eliminated when the COVID-19 pandemic forced us all into lockdown.

The gates have had to remain closed!

The passion and dedicated has inspired the team at Wolds Wildlife Park to continue working hard to care for all the animals regardless of the situation affecting all of us but it comes at a huge price of several thousand pounds every week.

If you can help us with any amount, you will be helping to buy food & equipment, pay vet bills and our essential staff during the lockdown.

Thank you.
