A wish fulfilled, and a day to remember.

For Peggy, a lifelong animal lover, a simple conversation became something truly special. With a cherished collection of meerkat ornaments gifted by her granddaughter over the years, she shared her wish to see them in real life, and the team at Avon Reach made it happen.

Accompanied by her friend Janet, Peggy enjoyed a day out at Marwell Wildlife, discovering a wonderful variety of animals. But it was the meerkats that captured her heart. Watching them dig, play and interact sparked pure joy, their lively, curious nature bringing the biggest of smiles.

Peggy also spent time speaking with a zookeeper, learning more about these remarkable animals and their close-knit social world.

“It was an absolutely wonderful day that I’ll always treasure,” she said.
