Ferrets, Rabbits, Dogs, Hawks, Guns and Nets in one MAGNIFICENT Display!
You may already use a ferreting display for your event, but is it good enough for you and your visitors? Does it reflect the professionalism of your organisation? Does it excite your audience and reflect the true essence of the sport?
The Ferret Roadshow achieves all of these!
The Ferret Roadshow is the UK’s leading, best, most comprehensive and professional ferreting display and will enhance the attractions at your event.
With dogs, hawks and a large number of ferrets of all ages on show throughout the event, combined with two ring displays featuring ferrets, rabbits, dogs, guns, nets and hawks, this is without doubt the pre-eminent ferreting display in the UK and one you really must have at your event.
Completely self-contained with our own tentage and fencing, this display is suitable for indoor and outdoor events. We’ve even got a display of historical artefacts – traps, tools, equipment etc.
In other words, the COMPLETE ferreting display, presented by The Ferret Man – James McKay, a true countryman.
We guarantee your visitors will be thrilled and intrigued by The Ferret Roadshow.

ANIMAL ROADSHOW
Founded in 1982, The Animal Roadshow’s unique service consists of exciting, hands-on educational sessions involving a wide variety of living specimens of different species, all of which are friendly, tame, handleable and entirely trustworthy. All sessions are delivered by a qualified, professional educator who has full CRB clearance.
Previously available only to schools, starting in 2011 this service has been taken On the Road and is now available to event organisers!
We have available to us numerous animals of many species, and this allows us to offer a wide range of subjects, topics and themes. You select the animals, the subject, the level – the choice is yours.
Our “General Session” is one of our most popular, and consists of a range of animals covering mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibia and invertebrates, and is an ideal introduction to many scientific principles. The session explains the basic differences between these classes of animal, and also examines adaptations of each species which allow that animal to fully exploit its own ecological niche. The content has many cross-subjectr links, and other areas covered in this session include geography, the senses, colour and design, defence mechanisms, history, habitats, conservation, lifestyles and natural history.
Standard “off-the-peg” Animal Roadshow sessions include: General, Invertebrates, Reptiles, Interdependancies & Adaptation, Raptors, The Senses, Babies, Growth and Lifecycles, Mini-Beasts, Night Time, Geography, Predators & Prey, Amphibia, Evolution, Mammals, Locomotion, , Camouflage & Protection, Attack & Defence, History, Conservation & Endangered Animals, Owls, Falconry, Pet Care, Competition & Predation, Flight, Habitats, Rainforests, Food Chains & Webs, Classification
The Animal Roadshow offers a bespoke service and sessions can be tailor-made to suit specific interests, or simply to show particular animals – it’s your choice! Please contact us for further information and to discuss your requirements
