We are delighted to let you know that Colchester Zoo has invited EACH to attend ‘Dream Night – 2025 – Enchanted Forest Theme’ which is to be held at the zoo on Friday 6th June between 6pm and 9.30pm. On this very special night Colchester Zoo is closed to the public but open especially for families from local children’s hospices to allow your children the greatest chance to have a truly special and memorable evening.
‘Dream Night at the Zoo’ is a concept that began in 1996 at the Rotterdam Zoo. Colchester Zoo has made EACH a part of its Dream Night for the last sixteen years and wants to make it possible for you to be a part of it!
On the evening of the 6th, the proposed programme will include; animal feeding, getting up close to a number of different species as well as a range of other entertainment and surprises. The activities will be designed to give the children a unique experience; much more than would be possible in a normal visit. The evening programme will allow families to visit many attractions to make the most of the time available. The zoo is fully equipped with disabled and first aid facilities and a wet weather programme will also be devised, if required.
We have a very limited allocation of tickets and families who have never been to Dream Night before will be given priority to these tickets.
The deadline for applications is 30th April. Successful applications will be advised so after this date.
Please note this is not a public event, it is only available to families who currently access services at EACH.
