Due to the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone across the UK our Aviaries and part of the lakes area are closed.

We do NOT have this virus at Raystede. We are still open and welcome visitors to the rest of the site.

Calling all cycling groups

A warm welcome at Raystede!

Raystede is always happy to host cycling groups. There are plenty of refreshments to enjoy in our cafe, clean facilities and ample outdoor space to keep your bikes in sight. We also have a cycle repair kit available should you need one in an emergency.

Please book in advance to let us know how many cyclists will be in your group and approximately what time you expect to arrive. This will allow our cafe staff to be prepared for your visit.

There is no need to book visitor tickets but please do email or give us a call: info@raystede.org, 01825 840 252.


We look forward to welcoming you!

Meet Albert, who is one of our most heartwarming transformations.

When Albert arrived at Raystede, he was nervous, underweight and suffering with painful patches of dry skin and sore joints.

At Raystede, we don’t just rehome animals, we rehabilitate them first, giving the best chance at a happy and healthy life. From healthcare to behavioural therapy, every step of their journey is carefully guided so they can trust again.

You can make a difference. A gift today will help make sure we can continue to care for all our animals, giving them the love and care they deserve.
