The government is expected to announce later today that zoos can re-open from Monday 15th June.

Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire closed its doors in March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It costs over half a million pounds a month to keep the zoo operating and providing the care for their endangered animals.

Back in April, the zoo launched a donations campaign.

The zoo had hoped it would receive some financial support in the way of a grant from the Government but they say it does not support larger conservation zoos and is reserved to protect smaller organisations.
