Upcoming events
Join Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and The Lost Boys this Easter at the award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
The award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park will be transformed into Neverland as J M Barries’ Peter Pan is brought to life next weekend.
The park will be alive with characters from the book, who will be performing and entertaining guests, while a life-size pirate ship will be one of the focal points for the fun weekend.
The Peter Pan extravaganza, which runs from April 9 to 11, features live performances, acrobats, pop-up games, face painting and craft activities as well as the chance to get up close to some of the world’s rarest and most endangered animals.
“It’s a great day out for the family. We have the amazing Peter Pan performances will be absolutely brilliant,” said John Minion CEO of the park, at Branton, near Doncaster. “We've got lots of fun activities for all the family and even a mock up set of London landmarks as well as the pirate ship.
“We’re so happy to be hosting these events once again after the pandemic and it feels like we’re finally getting back to normal. The three day long Peter Pan event is a perfect to have some family fun and to see the animals including our new camel babies. ‘
The cast of Peter Pan will be performing shows during the day in the amphitheatre telling the story of the magic of Neverland and his brushes with arch enemy Captain Hook and Tick-Tock the crocodile.
The Peter Pan event is included in the admission price to Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which is home to more than 70 different species including polar bears, giraffes and lions. YWP is supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital during the Peter Pan event and will be donating £1 from every full price admission ticket to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (Registered charity no. 1160024)which was gifted the rights to Peter Pan in 1929 by its author JM Barrie.
