Welfare & Compliance

At Manor Farm Experiences, animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. All animals used in TV, film, photography and social media projects are handled by trained, experienced staff who understand species-specific behaviour, safe handling techniques and on-set requirements.

We are fully licensed and insured to provide animals for public interaction and off-site work under:

• Animal Activity Licence: Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018
• Licence Number: LICENCE 21/00668/AWEX
• Issued by: Reigate & Banstead Borough Council

Our welfare standards include:

• Stress-free handling: Animals are carefully selected for temperament and suitability before each booking.

• Experienced handlers: A professional handler accompanies every animal at all times on set.

• Safe transport: Animals travel in secure, species-appropriate carriers or crates and are monitored throughout.

• Rest & acclimatisation: Animals are given time to settle into new environments, with regular breaks to prevent fatigue.

• Biosecurity & hygiene: Clean equipment, disinfected pens, and hand-sanitising protocols are used at every booking.

• Ethical working limits: Animals are never overworked, forced into inappropriate behaviours, or placed in stressful scenarios.

We follow all industry expectations for animals in audiovisual productions and always prioritise the welfare, comfort and safety of the animals above any filming requirement.
