Give the Gift of Membership this Christmas
Give the gift of wildlife, wonderful days out and 363 days of memories.
Share your love of wildlife with someone special this Christmas with a gift of Marwell Membership. It’s a whole year of opportunities to enjoy wonderful days out, discover more about the natural world and make lasting memories together.
There are three membership options to choose from. Select our standard membership or upgrade to enjoy additional benefits, including discounts and access to members-only events throughout the year.
And there’s more to membership than great days out. Every membership helps support Marwell Wildlife’s mission of Hands-on conservation: supporting nature’s recovery, helping us care for our incredible animals, protect wildlife and contribute to vital conservation work here and around the world.
When you buy a ‘Gift of Membership’ we will send you a presentation pack complete with welcome letter, car sticker and lanyard for you to pass to your loved one.
A gift to enjoy all year long, and one that helps make a difference for wildlife too!
