Yorkshire Wildlife Park Releases 2026 Packages for Unique Stays

January can be a bit of a gloomy month, can’t it? The Christmas decorations are packed away, it’s cold and dark, and the summer holidays feel ages away. But actually, having something fun on the calendar to look forward to can make all the difference. It seems the team at Yorkshire Wildlife Park had the same idea, as they’ve just dropped a whole bunch of brilliant 2026 packages for stays at their award-winning hotel. The famous Yorkshire attraction has released these offers to help blow those winter cobwebs away, with some fantastic rates on everything from a quick winter getaway to a full-on summer music festival weekend. For anyone feeling the January slump, planning a wild adventure might just be the perfect cure.

Beat the blues with some wild offers

There’s nothing like a good deal to put a spring in your step, and Yorkshire Wildlife Park has plenty of them. The park has launched special offers for bookings at the Hex Wildlife Hotel. These packages cover pretty much the entire year, so whether it's a treat for Valentines Day, a family break in the February Half Term, or even a festive trip on Boxing Day, there’s likely an offer to suit. The rates are pretty tempting, too, with some deals starting from as little as £36.25 per person. It’s a well-known fact that the park often sees a big jump in hotel bookings around this time of year, as people look for a brilliant escape to plan.

One of the standout deals is the Winter Sale Saver Package. Imagine spending the day exploring the park, seeing incredible animals, and then instead of heading home, just strolling over to a comfy hotel room for the night. That’s what this package offers, and it even includes breakfast at the Wilds Café Bistro the next morning. The rates for this start from just £24.74 per person, which is based on a family of four sharing a standard family room. To get this price, people need to use the promo code WINTER40 on bookings for stays up until 23rd December 2026. As with all good offers, it is subject to availability, so getting bookings in early is a smart move.

Looking ahead to summer sounds

While a winter warmer is a lovely thought, lots of people are already dreaming of summer. And for music fans, the YWP Wild Live Concert hotel offers are looking like a fantastic option. Staying right next to the venue means no worrying about the drive home after the show. The early bird offers for these summer concerts start from £81 per person and include that all-important full English breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking. The promo code for these deals is EARLYWILD.

Fans of bands like Scouting for Girls and Ocean Colour Scene can get some exclusive early bird savings on their stay. The packages are designed to be flexible for couples or families wanting a musical getaway. To make it easier, here’s a breakdown of the early bird rates for the concert packages:

• Scouting For Girls 1-Night Standard Package: From £81.37 per person (family of four) or £105.99 per person (two adults).

• Ocean Colour Scene 1-Night Standard Package: From £96.37 per person (family of four) or £120.99 per person (two adults).

• Wild Live Festival Weekend 2-Night Standard Package: From £167.73 per person (family of four) or £211.98 per person (two adults).

These brilliant early bird offers are for new bookings arriving between 29th August 2026 and 30th August 2026. A little bit of small print to be aware of is that they require full payment when booking and are non-refundable, so it’s one for the diary-planners who know they can make the dates.

A word from the boss

It's clear the whole company is excited about what's on offer for 2026. The news from the park's main office is all about giving families and visitors something special to look forward to throughout the year. Park CEO John Minion shared his thoughts on the new packages.

“We have some amazing offers available at Hex Wildlife Hotel. Kids stay free over half terms, with free breakfast and park entry for children when sharing a room with a full paying adult. This is an excellent deal for February Half Term, which is fast approaching. There are a range of luxuries available over Valentines Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.”

His comments really highlight the value, especially for families. The 'kids stay free' deal during half term is a huge help for parents looking for a fun and affordable break. It shows the Hex Wildlife Hotel is focused on making a trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park accessible for everyone.

More than just a hotel stay

After a fantastic day walking around the park, the Hex Wildlife Hotel is the perfect place to relax. The hotel isn't just a standard place to sleep; it’s an experience in itself. It has a range of rooms, from luxurious suites to comfortable family and standard rooms, and importantly, it provides accessible options too. But the coolest part has to be that some of the rooms actually overlook the maned wolves enclosure. Imagine waking up and seeing one of South America's most fascinating animals right from your window. Not many hotels can offer that!

The hotel is also part of The Yorkshire Hive, which is a destination in its own right. It’s an entertainment village right on the doorstep of the park. Visitors will find fantastic dining experiences and lovely boutique stores perfect for a bit of shopping. The shops are filled with local artisan products and unique gifts, perfect for finding a souvenir. For the kids (and big kids), there’s also the Uproar! Playbarn, a huge indoor play area with a prehistoric theme. It’s a great place for them to burn off any leftover energy.

And of course, the animals

Let’s be honest, the main event is the animals. The Yorkshire Wildlife Park puts conservation at the centre of everything it does, and a visit is a chance to come face-to-face with some of the world's most at-risk species. It's a proper walk-through experience, where visitors can see everything from majestic Polar Bears and Black Rhinos to graceful Giraffes and the incredible African Painted Dogs. The whole resort, combining the park with the Hex Wildlife Hotel and The Yorkshire Hive, makes for an unforgettable trip in Yorkshire. With so many packages and offers available, it’s a brilliant opportunity to plan an adventure.
