The British Wildlife Centre is known for providing fabulous photographic conditions for shots that would take patience and lots of luck to achieve in the wild! Enthusiastic amateurs and professional photographers alike will find all they need to get the perfect wildlife image.

Photographic Days

Our special Photographic Days are held when we are closed to the public, offering the amateur photographer an opportunity to get really close to our animals.

Good vantage points combined with natural surroundings and a peaceful environment gives you every opportunity to achieve superb wildlife shots, and we can normally allow access inside some of the enclosures, including the foxes, otters and Scottish wildcats. more...

Photographic Workshops & Courses

We run a variety of photographic courses and workshops, many by professional wildlife photographers who offer expert knowledge and guidance on improving and perfecting your photography. more...

For a full list of our Photographic Days and Photographic Workshops please refer to the 2013 Schedule.

Professional Film & Photography

Our facilities have been used by many professional wildlife photographers and film makers. Because we are not open to the public all year round, we can offer unrivalled access to the animals for filming. more...
