The first images of Chester Zoo's new wedding and events venue have been revealed.
The lavish 200-capacity venue, The Square, has launched following a three-year project to restore the zoo's Grade II-listed stable block, which has stood at the heart of the 128-acre conservation zoo since it opened in 1931.
The historic building will offer a unique setting for weddings, with couples able to tie the knot surrounded by the zoo's 27,000 animals. According to bosses, the new venue can also be booked for meetings and events, and will hopefully stage important global summits on wildlife conservation in the future.
