Our Yaks Have Moved to Hobbledown Epsom!
13th Oct 2026
Meet the newest members of the Epsom animal family
Big news, adventurers! Our shaggy, snuffly yaks have packed their bags (well, sort of) and trotted off on a brand new adventure. They've left Hobbledown Heath and moved to their new home at Hobbledown Epsom in Surrey.
They've joined the Hobbledown Epsom animal family and they're already settling in nicely. They're munching, mooching and making new friends.
Yaks are gentle giants with super thick coats, curly horns and the cosiest fringes you've ever seen. They were born for chilly mountain air, so autumn and winter in Surrey suit them perfectly.
Come and say hello to the herd
Looking for a family day out in Surrey this weekend or over the school holidays? Pop by and give our yaks a big Hobbledown welcome. Spot them in their new paddock, learn fun facts from our keepers and see who's the fluffiest.
