Carnival at the zoo

On Shrove Tuesday, things get colourful at the zoo: the parrot proudly preens its bright red feathers while the jaguar cleans its black and yellow spotted coat and the little blue poison dart frogs flash between green leaves. But it's not just the enclosures that are colourful. Together, we parade in masks from the main entrance to the Rhino Kiosk, playing music on homemade instruments. It's great fun and not to be missed.

What to expect:

• Musical carnival parade through the zoo for the whole family
• Craft station for masks and mini musical instruments
