Yorkshire Wildlife Park

A Wild Location for Memorable Events

A Great Central Location

Yorkshire Wildlife Park is extremely accessible for all forms of transport, so whether you’re arriving by foot, car, train, bus or even plane, you won’t miss us.

Situated near Doncaster, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is close to key travel links such as the A1 and M1, and just 5 minutes from Junction 3 of the M18. The Park is also 10 minutes away from Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and the East Coast Mainline rail route links London to Edinburgh via Doncaster.

Where else can you host a meeting with views across to the African Plains, and in your break take a stroll to see a polar bear?

With two professional conference rooms that can host 10 - 140 delegates, free, convenient parking and great regional travel links, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is the perfect environment for conferences, team-building and away-days.

Our experience of working with a wide range of companies and organisations shows that holding your event at our unique and exciting location will dramatically increase your participation and response rates.

If you want to make a great impression, then choose Yorkshire’s most inspiring location!

“I recently booked a business event coupled with a VIP experience for my guests. All I can say is what an AMAZING day, the staff were fantastic from the rangers to the hospitality team and really looked after us.

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to arrange an interesting and exciting corporate day.”Pandora Maund, Going Digital
