The Animal Photography Experience is a fantastic opportunity to photograph the Knockhatch animals.

Our professional photographer will teach you how to use your camera, getting off auto and giving you a better understanding of the different functions to capture that perfect image.

The tutor will review & make suggestions to improve your technique throughout the day. You will improve in your understanding of aperture, shutter speed, ISO and composition to name a few.

This is delivered in the Sussex Barn Conference Centre at Knockhatch Adventure Park in a very relaxed atmosphere.

During your experience you will visit the goats, ponies, llamas, Owl Sanctuary and Jungle Kingdom.

Our team will give you access to some of our enclosures and answer your questions about our animals.
