YOUNG animal lovers will have the chance to see and learn about their favourite creatures at an upcoming workshop at the Museum of English Rural Life.

In collaboration with ZooLab UK, the museum hopes its “lively” event will help visitors understand the role they can play in protecting animals and habitats all over the world.

Through interacting with real-life animals and hearing about them, the show will cover issues ranging from recycling to biodiversity and much more.

The session, which is part of the MERL’s Our Green Stories campaign, is suitable for all; children must be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are £6 for adults and children over two, and free for under twos, although tickets are still required.

Bookable 45 minute sessions run from 10.30am, 11.20am and 1pm on August 25.
