Viral TikTok by Sophie Knight shows hidden zoo behind Kent pub

In a recent viral TikTok video, Sophie Knight took her followers on a unique journey to a hidden zoo located behind a pub in Kent, England. 

The discovery, which has gained considerable attention, was first reported by The Sun. Sophie stumbled upon The Fenn Bell Conservation Project in Medway, Kent, a pub that houses a secret zoo behind a concealed door.

The TikTok video features Sophie exploring the zoo, showcasing various animals including ducks and cheetahs. Over the video, she wrote, “Did you know about this local pub in Kent? It has a zoo out back!” 

The footage captures Sophie enjoying the lush greenery and interacting with the animals before heading inside the pub to indulge in traditional snacks like chips, chicken nuggets, and baked beans.

In her caption, Sophie recommended the place, stating, “Worth a visit if you’re in the area! A lovely country pub with a twist…” The Fenn Bell Zoo operates year-round from 10 am to 5 pm, with entry fees of £6 for children and £6.50 for adults. Visitors can book tickets online in advance or pay upon arrival.

The video quickly garnered attention, with many users sharing their own experiences at the zoo. One user commented about a positive date experience at the zoo, while another praised the location as ideal for children, highlighting the friendly staff. Another user noted the opportunity to feed the animals, calling it a great spot for both kids and adults. A former acquaintance of the zoo's owner, Andy, reminisced about the early days when the enclosures were being built.

This isn’t the first time a hidden pub has made headlines on TikTok. In 2021, a user named @theresapizzaaa revealed a secret pub concealed behind a door in her kitchen island, creating a stir on the platform.
