Dudley Zoo & Castle is the trading name of Dudley & West Midlands Zoological Society Limited (DWMZS), a registered charity (no. 507221) with objectives founded in conservation and education.

We care for over 150 species, many of which are threatened with extinction, and partner with a host of different organisations working to protect wildlife across the globe.

Patron Membership

As a patron member, you will become part of the fabric of our charity. Your donation will help support the daily care of our animals, many of which are part of European Breeding Programmes, alongside vital conservation and education programmes. This includes projects like our Bats in the Black Country project and our Orangutan Forest School partnership.

As an advocate for wildlife, you will receive bespoke communication from our team, tailored to your interests, and gain special access to our organisation through curated events, openings and bespoke tours.

We offer two levels of support; Wildlife Patronage and Fellow Patronage. Each has a range of benefits, and are accompanied by a recommended donation.
