Next up was an overweight pot bellied pig. Pot bellied pigs are well known for their predisposition for becoming overweight, and weight management is a high priority of these animals for any responsible keeper - so why did this poor ... more

I am a huge animal lover, keeping and working with animals myself. I love visiting anywhere that has animals, and recently decided to go with my parents, niece and nephew to Knockhatch Adventure Park. It was a huge mistake and not one I will repeat. The first animal we came to was a goat with a sore and scabby looking nose and ears. I didn't think too much of that, when you have a lot of animals there is rarely a time when at least one of them isn't injured or poorly. However, moving on, we came to an enclosure of chickens, some of whom were in advanced stages of scaly leg. This is a condition caused by a mite that burrows under the skin and is both painful and ...  Read the complete review

Well, I'm down in Sunny Sussex on my holidays again, and today we decided to visit Knockhatch Adventture Park, on the outskirts of Eastbourne, off the A22. We, of course, being myself, my boyfriend, and my six year old daughter . It didn't take us long to drive there from Eastbourne, although we were slightly delayed by a diversion due to the filming on the pier of the remake of Brighton Rocks. The carparking was free, although getting to the carpark required driving down a very narrow country lane that could easily be missed . There were plenty of spaces, and it was easy to find the entrance to the park itself and the payment kiosk . Admission ...  Read the complete review

My first experience of Knockhatch was when the owner visited our local carnival to display his birds of prey. This was my reason for going. The kids had various other reasons. The visit started with a picnic, though there was food available at reasonable prices at the park. The older children played on a huge slide under supervision while we finished feeding our toddler. A quick look at the animals and birds and it started to rain. Off went hubby with the older kids to reptile handling, while I took our youngest to the not so scarey soft play area, equiped with ball pool, slide and a variety of soft objects to be climbed on. There is a climbing gym ...  Read the complete review
