Chester Zoo has confirmed more details about its lavish new wedding venue - where couples can tie the knot in the midst of the huge animal park. Bosses have announced the luxury 200-capacity destination is due to open in May.
The Square is an extension of an existing Grade II listed stable block that has stood at the heart of the 128-acre conservation zoo since it opened in 1931. The original structures were once home to some of the zoo’s first animals such as lions, bears and chimpanzees.
For the first time, following a three-year restoration project, the historical building will soon be hosting special occasions - with couples able to tie the knot surrounded by 27,000 animals. The venue will also host corporate events and offer unique meeting spaces.
