30 August - Twycross Zoo is opens for a delightful evening
11:30am Thursday 14th August 2008
Have you ever thought what it would be like to visit Twycross Zoo after closing time? Well here is your chance, for the first time in 45 years; Twycross Zoo will open a section of the Zoo to the public on the evening of Saturday 30th August 2008, from 6.30 pm until 10.00 pm.
This is a unique opportunity to experience the tranquility of the Zoo and to watch the animals, whilst enjoying drinks on the lawn. Imagine a leisurely stroll through the Borneo Longhouse in a relaxed atmosphere. Listen to the evening calls of the birds or the blues rhythm of the live band, “The High Sierras” with special guest Vicky Clayton, (vocalist with Fairport Convention).
During the evening, relaxed, short, informative talks will take place by the sea lions, penguins, bat eared fox and the Monkey House.
For further information and to book tickets please contact reception on 01827 880 250 or see our website www.twycrosszoo.org.
