Twenty years ago Animal started out making watchstraps from a tiny room above a local surf shop in Poole. Animal has come along way since those early days and is now one of the UK’s leading brands.

The world’s a different place from those days but one thing that hasn’t changed is Animal’s commitment to the sports and lifestyle that the brand has been built on. To celebrate the big 2-O, Animal has launched a 20th Anniversary competition throughout Animal stores and selected retailers nationwide.

From 1st May to the end of June customers will have the chance to win a prize for every year that Animal has been around; including a special edition Dom Harington replica Rome snowboard, top of the range technical gear, tickets to Animal’s 20th Anniversary parties at the Animal Beach Ball, K-Fest and Windfest and many more prizes. Full details on how to win will be in-store from the 1st May.

Animal has also launched a limited edition 20th Anniversary range which includes boardies, t-shirts, footwear and bikinis. There are also plans for some monster parties over the summer months to follow on from the 20th Anniversary party held at the British Snowboard and Ski Championships in Laax, Switzerland which saw UK ‘Mixologist’ superstars the Scratch Perverts raise the roof to a packed crowd.
