The Staffordshire-based park is inviting animal lovers from across the UK to spend their May half term at the park for an extra-special Love Your Zoo week.

There will be a host of daily activities including interactive zoo tours, trails and workshops for budding vets and zoo keepers.

Families will be able to learn about Drayton Manor’s resident species, of which there are more than 100, in the new Love Your Zoo trail, and join the zoo keeper team for a journey into the animal kingdom, with daily Animals are Amazing talks.

Victorious Vets is the perfect activity for budding veterinarians, providing a hands-on demonstration which explores how vets care for animals, not just in the zoo, but out in the wild and at home.

William Bryan, managing director at Drayton Manor Park, said: “We are all very excited to be celebrating Love Your Zoo week this May half term.

“Wildlife conservation is extremely important to us at Drayton Manor, and we’re proud to provide a caring home to critically endangered species, as well as tailored breeding programmes to help repopulation.
