Twycross Zoo has launched a search in Oxford to find children to become a ‘Twycross Zoo Discoverer’.

The search has been launched ahead of a brand-new, multi-million pound land opening soon at the zoo.

The chosen Discoverer from Oxford will join 14 other children from across the UK to be some of the first to discover, explore and test the new land opening to the public in Spring 2022.

Dr Sharon Redrobe OBE, CEO of Twycross Zoo said: “We are excited to open our brand new land at Twycross Zoo - a specific area focussed on our youngest visitors. The next generation will play a vital role in solving the problems that face our planet, and we hope our 15 ‘Twycross Zoo Discoverers’ will be some of the future conservationists that will imagine and put into action the solutions to ensure our planet thrives.”

The final 15 Discoverers from across the UK will be the first to find out about the land once it’s announced and will be invited for a VIP visit before the official public opening.

Each Discoverer will also be awarded an exclusive ‘Keeper for the Day’ experience within the new land, and a 12-month membership pass, so they can enjoy the new area and its inhabitants and continue to develop their love and passion for nature.

To submit an entry for the role of ‘Twycross Zoo Discoverer’ for Oxford, please visit www.twycrosszoo.org/new-for-2022/.

All entrants must be aged eight or under.
