Wolds Wildlife Park finishes season with Lincolnshire Day celebration

​Wolds Wildlife Park has closed its doors early for the year until spring 2024 due to cost of living crisis and rising costs.

The park had seen costs involved in running the park, including utilities, bills, and the price of animal food rising, so the decision was taken to close the park to the public, so the keepers can concentrate all their time and effort on their animals.

Animal experience days will still be available to book throughout the winter months as the keepers will be continuing to care for the animals, and current annual pass holders will be extended.

The park’s staff closed out the year on Sunday October 1 with a special Lincolnshire Day celebration, with complimentary plum bread handed out to guests during the day, and there was also a special performance from The Silver Lions Ukelele band in Timon’s Tipi, as well as a set from singer Sharna.

Events manager Sharron Tonge said the event went really well and they had a lot of supportive comments from visitors:

"We had a lovely day celebrating all things Lincolnshire, people really liked the plum bread and were having a dance around in the teepee.

"We did our best to make it a nice experience for everyone.”
