This summer, Beachside in Worthing welcomed some very special visitors, and not the usual kind you’d expect to see in our garden! Animal Magic brought an incredible selection of creatures for tenants to meet, and the afternoon was a lively mix of laughter and a little bit of chaos.

We met Poppy, the giant bunny, whose soft fur and gentle nature made her an instant favourite. Then there was the adorable chinchilla, along with two pygmy hedgehogs whose tiny noses and curious eyes won everyone over. Nealy and Nova, the playful dachshunds, were more than happy to be fussed over, while Arnie the armadillo amazed us all with his unusual armour-like shell. And for a truly exotic treat, we were introduced to Kinky the kinkajou, who had the sweetest face.

We were so lucky to have the chance to meet eight different animals, giving us a wonderful variety of species, from the familiar to the rare. The team from Animal Magic were fantastic, sharing interesting facts and answering questions while making sure everyone had a chance to see, touch, or interact with the animals if they wanted to.

It might have been a little chaotic at times, but the smiles and excitement in the room made it a truly memorable afternoon. We all loved it!
