Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital Visitor Centre

Tiggywinkles is a truly special place - a world leading wildlife hospital dedicated to the rescue and rehabiliation of all British wildlife. We take in and treat over 13,000 sick, injured and orphaned animals every year with the aim of getting them back out into the wild after rehabiliation. Any animal that is unable to be released will stay at the hospital where it can live out its life in near natural surroundings while still benefiting from ongoing monitoring and care.

The Visitor Centre is a place where you can meet some of our rescued residents in our tranquil sanctuary, learn about the work carried out at the wildlife hospital and find out more about the many species we care for. There is a behind-the-scenes viewing window into the hospital where you can see our life-saving wildlife nurses in action. The animals you will see vary throughout the seasons. From orphaned baby hedgehogs, foxes and badgers being fed every few hours, to tiny baby birds being hand-fed every 20 minutes! In our unique hedgehog memorabilia museum, you can explore everything hedgehog! From myths, culture, history, literature and collectibles. Hedghogs have fascinated people and captured our imaginations for centuries.
