Where We Work
Meet The Beasts travels throughout the UK.
How We Help You
We enable you to encounter our safe, friendly snakes, lizards & minibeasts so that you can experience the thrill of being released from the grip of fears & phobias.
We adapt our input & style to each audience & your needs. We love hearing, "I never thought I could do that!" & seeing lives changed at our events.
In primary & secondary schools our snakes, lizards & minibeasts amaze, challenge & educate enthusiastic, but not always willing, audience members. Our calm, patient & engaging style really encourages close-up, hands-on encounters that everyone enjoys & understands. We can spice up your science topics to help children & young people overcome their fears, grow in confidence & discover their 'brilliant'. Our educational visits are more than simply about learning: they are about experiencing & changing.
"The difference between Meet The Beasts
& other companies we've had is that you bond
immediately with the children, relate on
their level, hold their interest & leave
them buzzing with a sense of achievement. We
will be asking you back!"

Edgware, London
In business interaction with our animals helps participants overcome their fears & build confidence. Our snakes & spiders also act as practical, visceral examples during our sessions on how to improve work culture & performance by reducing fear.We love to be part of your team-building events too. Geoff, our large, super-friendly boa constrictor wins fans wherever he goes.
"I certainly didn’t think for one minute
that I’d be able to handle a snake, but it was a
really enjoyable experience and thank you for the
opportunity."

In healthcare settings we support mental health practitioners by providing animal assisted therapy which stimulates interest, interaction & learning. Meeting our snakes, lizards & minibeasts also boosts confidence & self-esteem by helping participants overcome their fears.
"The event was a huge success and enjoyed by all.
Feedback from service users included, "It was great!",
"I really enjoyed it" and "When can we do
it again?" ... The hospital will be inviting Stuart
back in the New Year."

Conferences, events & exhibitions love us because we draw a crowd as Geoff The BoaTM steals the scene with his friendly, gentle demeanour & strong presence. Delegates & attendees gain the added bonus of opportunity to overcome their fears, refocus & recharge whilst taking a break & enjoying something very different.
"Hi Stuart, Thanks so much for your
session – everyone absolutely loved the session!
I will definitely keep you in mind for any future
events we have!"

Public & Community organisations & at public attractions regularly ask us back because we draw crowds & create a buzz, keep people engaged & create a sense of achievement. Our patience & calm nature always encourages even the most timid to have a go.
"You have made such a
difference at the GCR today. People all over are
talking about you & your animals. Every time I
came in you were helping someone. You are on our
list of 'must haves' for future events we
run, if you'd like to come
that is!"

One-to-One sessions with our snakes, lizards, tarantulas & cockroaches are very powerful for helping people to overcome their fears & building self-confidence at your own pace. Meet The Beasts is renowned for our calm, patient approach: we focus on you so that you get the most from us. These sessions make excellent gifts & surprises for special occasions.
"Hi, I am still in shock and cannot
believe yesterday was real!
Thank you so much for the experience
I am sure this will enable me to
stop " lizard patrol ".
I promise that if anyone I know
needs similar help I will point them
in your direction."
