photo[10] Last Saturday saw our Rainforest themed Big Saturday event bursting with live animals and hands-on arts and craft activities for all the family, including making frog puppets and rainforest snakes! It provided a wonderful opportunity for our visitors to get up close and personal with our animals and experts!

Not only did we have handling tables full of reptiles and amphibians from the Vivarium but others from collections including those of the North West Reptile Club, who were fantastic. We were also be joined by world experts of other fascinating creatures and plants of the world’s rainforests.

There was rainforest music and talks, including a specialist tour from Lucy Marland – star of our Learning with Lucy programme, who gave a really wonderful tour of our vivarium.

We hope all who attended throughly enjoyed it and we would like to give an extremely big thank you to all who supported the day and made it such a highly successful event!
