Marwell Zoological Park advises visitors to avoid zoo on Sunday 3rd June

Marwell Zoological Park, near Winchester, is urging visitors planning to visit the Zoo this Sunday (3rd June) to delay their visit.

Marwell are expecting a large amount of visitors who took part in a Southern Daily Echo promotion to visit the Zoo this Sunday. Their concern is that guests will end up sitting in traffic jams and may not in fact be able to get into the park once the car parks fill up.

So if you haven't taken part in the promotion Marwell advise you come on another day when you will have more chance to enjoy their wonderful park. If you have taken part in the promotion there is no need to rush down on Sunday as the tickets have been extended and are now valid until 31st December 2007.

In order to qualify for the extension simply send in your vouchers to the address below and Marwell will exchange them for a ticket entitling you to the same terms of entry from 3rd June to 31st December 2007.
