Animal encounters session for children with additional needs to meet exotic animals up close, part of the venue's ALN nights.
A&S Animal Encounters is coming to The Coopers Plasmarl on Tuesday 24 November, starting at 6:00 PM. It's part of the venue's ALN nights, which are sessions run specifically for children with additional needs, so the whole thing is set up with that in mind.
The main draw is exactly what the name suggests: a range of exotic animals brought in for the children to meet. The numbers are kept low, which is the key part here — it's not a crowded room where you're watching from the back. The smaller group means everyone gets to get up close and personal with the animals rather than just catching a glimpse from a distance. Along with the encounters, there's a bit of a learning side to it, too, with a look at how these animals live and survive in the wild.
Because it's one of the ALN nights, the session is built around the needs of the children attending, and the low numbers are kept that way so the whole thing stays manageable and accessible. It's a chance for kids to interact with animals they'd never normally come across, and to hear a bit about where they come from and how they get by in their natural habitats.

Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and a booking is only confirmed once it's paid for, so if you're keen, it's worth getting sorted sooner rather than later. It's £5 per child, and the session runs at The Coopers Plasmarl, 287 Neath Rd, Plasmarl, Swansea, SA6 8JU, on Tuesday 24 November from 6:00 PM.
