Media Centre

Our Communications team look after all media enquiries, such as interviews, filming, photography and press releases.

Port Lympne Reserve, our accommodation and our sister park Howletts, can be hired as locations for/but not limited to commercial filming and photography, product launches, fashion shoots and media events.

We collectively offer a wide variety of possible locations, including authentic Kentish savannahs with stunning views, alive with African and Asian animals, a three acre forest filled with life size and anatomically correct creatures from the prehistoric era in Dinosaur Forest, a variety of accommodations and of course our beautiful natural animal environments, offering where possible, close access to some of the world’s most rare and endangered species.

Brilliant locations
