Celebrate insect week by signing up to our “meet the experts” skill sharing session!

In this session, which has been specially developed for home educating and flexi-schooling families, you will spend 90 minutes getting to know some of your smallest neighbours. You’ll discover how we’re bringing some very special species back from the brink of extinction and learn what you can do to protect these amazing animals!

This session is targeted for primary age but all are welcome.

Each ticket admits two adults and three children to the session.

Join us for the start of our summer exhibition. Angus Grant and Campbell Bryson are teaming up for Sunshine & Shadows, a reprise of their first show 14 years ago.
Both men are landscape painters with distinctive styles. Bryson’s work is renowned for its treatment of light and shadow, creating almost mosaic-like patterns. Grant’s work features the familiar landscapes of the Cairngorms, especially the lochs and mountains.

Join us for a natter and a brew as we explore our ‘topic of the month’ with our expert rangers!

Our tea and talk sessions are small-scale talks from the RZSS team taking place in our Learning Hive at Highland Wildlife Park.

Talks begin at 11am, with entry via our main entrance.

Your ticket includes entry to the park for the rest of the day, tea, coffee and a selection of biscuits.

For further information please contact events@rzss.org.uk.

The communion service, also known as the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist, holds a central place in the Christian faith. It is a sacred ritual that symbolizes the profound spiritual connection between believers and their Lord. This service will follow the liturgy as provided by the Scottish Episcopal Church (2022).

The communion service is a deeply meaningful and symbolic practice that transcends denominational boundaries, uniting Christians in a shared expression of faith and reverence. This timeless tradition has been celebrated for centuries, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrificial love and redemptive grace of Jesus Christ.

We welcome everyone who wishes to worship with us.
