Chester Zoo to stay open after hours as popular late night experience returns

Chester Zoo has announced its sell out 'Into the Night' evenings will return for a limited number of nights this summer.

Spread across 15 special dates on selected dates in June, July and August, the event will give visitors the rare opportunity to explore all the 128-acre zoo when it is usually closed to the public. The event, which sold out last year, will see all proceeds generated go towards the not-for-profit zoo’s conservation work, helping wildlife to survive and thrive.

As well as seeing all of its 27,000 animals at sunset, guests will also be able to enjoy live entertainment from performers including larger-than-life animal-themed stilt walkers, dancers, flash mob dance troops and breath-taking acrobats. And this year, first the first time ever, the zoo has added two all-new adult-only evenings, exclusive cinema screenings and a celebrity guest appearance.
