Bristol is just the best over the summer - you can guarantee you'll find something interesting to do every single weekend, and generally that means little festivals all over the city. The zoo is getting in on this action too!
A couple of weeks back, the wonderful Bristol Zoo invited a bunch of lucky bloggers to look around the zoo, as part of their twilight events. Read on to see some sneaky peeks, and to WIN tickets to their pop up festival!
Bristol Zoo are holding a series of Friday Twilights over the summer holidays. At only £5 per person (£4 for members) you can go along between 6:30-10pm and experience exclusive animal talks and live music, as well as the option to buy additional tickets for the Zootropia High Ropes Challenge!
Looking around the zoo in the evening is a much more special experience than your usual standard daytime visit - it's much quieter, you can sway to a little bit of nice music (with added impromptu vocals from the resident animals), and you can guarantee there won't be much of a queue at the brand new restaurant, The Hide.
The next Friday Twilights are on 4th August, 18th August & 1st September. Find out more information & grab a ticket here!
One extra special Friday Twilight event at the zoo this summer is their Pop-Up Festival on Friday 28th July, and four of YOU lucky lot can win a pair of tickets each by entering via the Rafflecopter form below.
