2025 marks a momentous year for Durrell, as we celebrate what would have been our founder’s 100th birthday.  

We invite you to join us in honouring Gerald Durrell’s extraordinary contributions to wildlife conservation and the lasting legacy he left behind.  

Get ready for a year full of unforgettable events and activities with something for everyone to enjoy. The fun begins on 7 January 2025, the day Gerry would've turned 100 years old!
