donkeys at christmas

Reaseheath College is opening its zoo in Nantwich so families can enjoy festive fun on weekends before Christmas.

Winter wallabies, festive foxes, merry meerkats, seasonal snakes, gracious goats and dashing donkeys are some of the animals preparing for Christmas.

And Reaseheath’s keepers will be on hand to talk about each animal.

The zoo will be open each Saturday and Sunday from 10am and a festive themed trail will lead visitors around the animal enclosures.

A Christmas grotto, complete with Santa and his elf helpers, will be open on Saturday 15 and 22, afternoons only, between 1.30pm and 4.30pm.

Reaseheath’s zoo is at the college’s Animal Centre which is one of the most advanced college training centres in the country.
