Book Experience

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 meerkats, ring tailed lemurs, goats, ponies, llamas, Owl Sanctuary and Jungle Kingdom.
