THE Welsh Mountain Zoo – National Zoo of Wales, in Colwyn Bay will be celebrating Love Your Zoo week as part of the half term break with a special Pride and Love theme.

Next week's annual event coincides with the beginning of Pride Month, and so this year's theme is everything related to love! In fact, we have plenty to celebrate with the extra special Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

Charlotte Dykes, marketing manager at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, said: “This is a fantastic annual event that helps celebrate all things Zoo!

"Whilst the Zoo is a fantastic day out, there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, particularly in relation to conservation and breeding that people may not be aware of.

"We’re keen to be able to share more on this aspect of our work and show a different side to the Zoo that people may not automatically associate with us.”

She added: “We’re looking forward to celebrating all things love throughout the half term, and we’ll be running various fun events and activities for all to enjoy in this great weeklong event.”
