Families visiting Whipsnade Zoo at May half term will have the chance to get creative with CBeebies’ TV stars Mister Maker and Rebecca Keatley.
From Saturday 24 May until Sunday 1 June, the children’s TV presenters will be encouraging visitors to make, create, and play at their interactive live shows and self-guided crafting station, designed to teach children about the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling.
The duo will host three outdoor live shows per day, which will be full of music and dancing. Live show times are 10:45am, 1pm & 3pm, with seats allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Mini Makers can visit the self-guided Creature Craft Workshop, where they can make their very own paper parrot from recycled materials, inspired by the five species of endangered parrot seen in the Zoo’s bird demonstration, with the chance to display their creations proudly on the conservation zoo’s ‘Maker Wall’.
After enjoying Mister Maker’s arty extravaganza, visitors can explore the rest Whipsnade Zoo‘s 600-acre site, with more than 11,000 animals from 245 species to discover, including a pride of rare northern African lions and their seven cubs.
