“It has been wonderful to see our visitors enjoying our wide open spaces and interacting with our amazing animals once again.

“Our food bill alone is over £60,000 every month and our supporters have been fantastic. We want to thank them by giving them something to really look forward to. This is an incredible opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals they love.

“Everyone who enters will be in with the chance of winning exclusive, after-hours access to the zoo with a personally guided tour with me and the opportunity to feed any five of our wonderful animals.

“Our winner might choose Yang Guang one of our world-famous giant pandas, our cheeky penguins, lovely lions or marvellous meerkats. To top it all off the winner will be treated to a delicious dinner and an overnight stay in the stunning Caledonian hotel.”
