Extra! Extra! The Capybara Sisters are Famous

Extra! Extra! The Capybara Sisters are Famous

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind week at Knockhatch. We knew our capybara sisters were special, but we didn’t quite expect them to become the latest local celebrities. If you’ve switched on the telly or scrolled through your newsfeed lately, you might have spotted a couple of familiar, furry faces.


Thank you x 3000

We’re sending out a massive thank you to the teams at ITV, BBC, Yahoo, and AOL for sharing the news. It’s also been brilliant to see the support from our local community, with Hailsham News, Sussex World, and BourneFree all popping by to see what the fuss is about. The girls have taken the fame in their stride—mostly by having a proper lounge about and keeping an eye out for their next snack. It’s lovely to see so many people getting excited about these gentle giants.

See Them for Yourself

If the news reports have piqued your interest, you don't have to watch them from behind a screen. You can now get stuck in and meet them properly.

  • What’s happening: Our Capybara Experiences are officially open.
  • What to expect: You'll get to spend some quality time with the sisters, learn about their quirks, and see exactly why they’ve been making headlines.
  • How to join in: Everything is live and ready to book over at knockhatch.com.

It’s a cracking way to spend an afternoon, especially if you have a little one who is obsessed with capybara. We can’t wait to see you there!
