Wildlife Connections Festival

Blue Peter presenter Mwaka Mudenda and CBeebies presenter Chantelle Lindsay are set to headline Chester Zoo’s FREE family wildlife festival.

Taking place on the zoo’s 6 ha Nature Reserve on the weekend of 17/18 September, the Wildlife Connections Festival set to connect families with nature, celebrating threatened UK species such as hedgehogs, butterflies, wildflowers and amphibians.

With over 50% of UK species in decline, zoo conservationists hope the festival will put a spotlight on native wildlife and encourage people to take action to help it to thrive.

The fun-filled line-up includes live music, pond dipping, den building, creating bee houses special shows with Blue Peter’s Mwaka and CBeebies presenter and Wildlife Conservationist Chantelle Lindsay.
