Sir David Attenborough 100th Birthday

Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm is delighted to announce a very special celebration on Friday 8 May, marking the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, one of the world’s most treasured naturalists. Sir David Attenborough, who has previously visited the Butterfly Farm, has long been an inspiration to the team and to millions around the world through his passion for wildlife and conservation.

To honour this remarkable milestone and Sir David’s lifelong dedication to the natural world, the Butterfly Farm will host a unique event inviting two classes from local schools, Stratford-upon-Avon Primary and Thomas Jolyffe Primary, to take part in the release of 100 stunning Blue Morpho butterflies into the rainforest Flight Area. This symbolic gesture celebrates not only Sir David’s extraordinary legacy but also aims to inspire the next generation to appreciate and protect the beauty of nature.

The Mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon, Dani Hunter, Stratford-upon-Avon MP Manuela Perteghella, and her Chief of Staff, Jennifer Gray, will also be attending the celebration.

To see hundreds of spectacular butterflies, insects, reptiles, and spiders visit the Butterfly Farm from 10am to 6:00pm, last entry 5.30pm.

Open every day of the week except Christmas Day. For more information including purchasing gift vouchers, admission prices and group rates, please visit the website at www.butterflyfarm.co.uk or telephone on 01789 299288.
