Cracking craft activities at Newquay Zoo this Easter

Visitors to Newquay Zoo are being invited to help create eggs-traordinary artwork this Easter designed to celebrate our planet and show our commitment to protect it.

The artwork will include pledges, made by our visitors, to make small lifestyle changes that together will make a big difference for our planet. The pledges will be created using a variety of different methods including printmaking and collage, and combined to create a giant display showcasing hope and positivity for our future.

These creative workshops will run each weekday from 11am to 3pm during the Easter holidays, between Monday, 3 April and Friday, 14 April. In addition to making pledges, visitors will be able to create beautiful badges to take away and keep.

The workshops will be run by artist and illustrator Freya Moses, who works under the name of Freymo. She specialises in designing and delivering creative workshops with a focus on illustration and printmaking.

Katie White, Newquay Zoo Events Manager, said: “Conservation is very important to us at Newquay Zoo and we believe that every action matters. This activity will provide our visitors with a great opportunity to have fun, as well as inspiring and empowering them to help protect our planet too.”

Newquay Zoo is part of Wild Planet Trust, a charity that is helping to halt species decline through education and conservation. Alongside Newquay Zoo, Wild Planet Trust also runs Paignton Zoo in Devon, three reserves in the South West and a variety of international conservation programmes.
