Public Build with BITE Events Reviews

Absolutely loved our day with build with bite, what a fantastically resourced day enabling us to have an amazing experience in the lion enclosure building their enrichment. Mark and Chris were knowledgeable and experienced but made the whole day fun and engaging with their down to earth friendly manner putting 20+ strangers at ease so that by the end everyone was collaborating, conversing and laughing. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to book another build with bite day - this will be a birthday celebration we will remember for a long time, thank you!

Great day from start to finish! 5 stars isn’t enough for such a fantastic expedience! A great group of strangers that worked together as a team to produce a great piece of enrichment for our rescued lions 🦁this was a fun challenge with great support from Chris and Matt at build with bite the whole day! Everyone In our group was so nice, we laughed so much! Hoping Yorkshire wildlife park offer a similar experience again soon

The course was brilliant! Mark and Chris delivered an exceptional experience that allowed us to be a part of something that will last for years to come. The work we did will support the development and enrichment of the lions. Having the opportunity to be a small part of that was great. Team building with BITE organised a superb day. The team took the time to get everything we needed, with clear instructions and very approachable for any questions or help we needed. The entire day was enjoyable and I would love the opportunity to do something like this again. All credit to Team building with BITE for creating such an enjoyable experience, and leaving with the sense of contributing to improving the life of the lions.

Absolutely fantastic, really enjoyed it! Can’t wait for the next one

Oh my goodness! 5 stars seems mean! From the outset the day’s plans were clear and very well planned. I came away having a whole new skill set which I never imagined. We all thought we would be making smaller enrichment projects- we never thought we’d be entrusted with such a large project! What a total honour. All the staff we met were just wonderful- like meeting old friends.! To be a part of the first ‘public’ team builders was so special. Met as strangers, left as friends. A day to treasure for sure. A million thanks all round. You all rock!

This was the most amazing experience from start to finish, that I will never forget in my lifetime! A lot of trust was put into complete strangers with a wide range of experience & knowledge to figure out different parts of the build to then put it all together to make a fantastic structure that we can all see and be proud of for years to come!! Also made some lovely friends there that we will definitely be putting our names down for again and again- so much fun!

We were not entirely sure what to expect when signing up for the event, but as long time supporters of YWP and of the original lion rescue we saw the event as another way to donate and support YWP. The experience far exceeded our expectations and we got a great deal of personal satisfaction from knowing that the work that the team completed will enrich the lives of the lions for years to come. It was so lovely to see Carla and Crystal up close and also to meet the next generation of YWP lions. Colin was so passionate about the lions and their care. Lucky Colin and lucky lions. We have told all of our family and friends about the great experience we had and I’m sure your future events will be very popular and heavily subscribed. Thank you so much for such a wonderful opportunity. We do hope that we are fortunate enough to attend similar events in the future.

I had a great day with the team. Brilliant introduction and safety brief. The supervision level during the build was spot on. Mark Chris and Bex were on hand when we needed advice and guidance but left us to the task when we were sure where we were going. They took a team of 8 (28 overall) and helped us work as a seamless unit. The finished result looked great. I’ve never done anything like this before but won’t hesitate to book another in the future. From YWP’s point of view I hope it was a great success. It was great to meet the new lions and to hear from Colin. I look forward to many more events like this
