Over the next few days we will be looking back at some of the highlights of a very busy year for us!

We've made loads of changes this year (and more coming next year) and have even changed our name!

We have loved welcoming you this year and would love to see some of your photos

Thank you so much to Coastline Ciccarellli for their donation.

This will help feed our animals and the rescued seals who we look after.

We are still (safely) looking after rescued seals and today we have been able to release Pancake and Mojo.

Who knows what this fish is called?

Here's a hint, they are normally hard to spot and are great at camouflaging themselves.

Big virtual wet fishy kisses to you all.

We can't wait to welcome you all back to the aquarium soon.

Seal Hospital Update

Pancake was brought in on pancake day and has a skin condition.

Polo has arrived this week with very deep cuts caused by ghost fishing gear.

Both will be under the care of the team until they are well enough to be release.
