Welcome to Jonathan's Jungle Roadshow!

I specialise in providing professional animal encounter sessions which are designed to be educational, interactive and fun for all involved.  I am a former school teacher based in Swindon, Wiltshire but am prepared to travel across central & southern England and south Wales to provide as many people as possible with the service I am able to offer!  I maintain a large and varied private collection of truly amazing invertebrates and reptiles, all of which can be viewed by clicking here.

I am able to provide presentations, workshops and hands-on sessions to suit any situation and age group (children or adults) and  these are just a few examples of the visits I commonly undertake:

• Schools / Pre-schools /Colleges (Foundation Stage through to Key Stage 4 and beyond)

• Private birthday parties / Media and Special events

• Public events (large and small) / Fetes and Fayres

• Corporate Events (for both larger & smaller organisations)

Whatever your needs I can provide groups of children or adults the opportunity to gain first hand experience of some absolutely amazing animals up close and personally, and an experience definitely not to be forgotten!

During Autumn 2011 I was invited by staff at the BBC to join the BBC Live 'n' Deadly team and I entertained thousands of members of the public (young & old) with some of my animals at their 'Deadly Days Out'.  These were a series of public events featuring the great Steve Backshall from CBBC's 'Deadly 60' and Live 'n' Deadly (top right holding Mei-Ling my beautiful mandarin rat snake) as well as his lovely Live 'n' Deadly co-host Naomi Wilkinson (with myself & Steve below) along with many other fantastic people, animals, outdoor activities and attractions!

It was an absolute privilege to be asked to be involved in these superb events and to meet and work alongside so many great people, from Steve & Naomi to the fantastic BBC senior production team to the stewards & the rest of the roaming animal team, an amazing experience!

In February 2012 I was invited back to work with the BBC when I attended the CBBC & CBeebies 10th birthday celebrations at the BBC's new headquarters - MediaCityUK in Salford.  I had the privilege of presenting some of my animals alongside the lovely and very talented Michelle Ackerley (below left) from CBBC's brilliant Deadly Art - a fantastic day!
