The most AMAZING gift ever

Absolutely brilliant day. Wonderful setting, fantastic animals kept as naturally as possible, lots of space to roam, hide & be themselves. A true breath of fresh air to see, unlike any other captive setting I’ve visited. The afternoon tea was delicious, friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend.

Enjoyable day out

Alnwick Gardens has lots to offer in a very easy to navigate and compact area. The water features are beguiling and cleverly done. We visited on a warm spring day which was ideal and the afternoon tea surpassed expectations, served by friendly and efficient staff.

Great to work with.

We had intended to take our Heritage membership much earlier but the pandemic interrupted our plans. Red Letter Days were extremely helpful and supportive throughout. We are looking forward to a fabulous year of days out. Thank you Red Letter Days.

Amazing experience would do again

We had such a good day out at Port Lympne on the ranger safari the setting for the park itself is just stunning and we Leary so much about the animals and the conservation from Alex our Ranger. We then spent the day walking around and we're so pleased to see how big the animals enclosures were the manor how was beautiful and we spent some time relaxing in the garden there. Could not have been a better day. Highly recommend
