Tickets for this exclusive adults-only event cost £25 per person and include zoo entry, a welcome drink, live concert band, a sumptuous hog roast (vegetarian and vegan option available), dessert, plus the opportunity to see their amazing animals after hours as the sun sets.
As part of the event, there will also be a silent auction with some fantastic ‘one-off’ prizes and a fundraising raffle, as well as animal talks by the presentation and zoo keeper team.
Take a Gin tour
Black Friars Distillery, the working home of Plymouth Gin since 1793, is the oldest working gin distillery in England. Take a guided tour and learn about the art of making the world-famous Plymouth Gin, enjoy a tutored tasting of the range and then relax in the Refectory cocktail lounge – the ultimate place to enjoy a cocktail and where the Pilgrims are said to have spent their last night before setting sail in the Mayflower to the New World.
Hire a bike and see the sights
Hire a bike and see the sights of Plymouth with friends or family. Grab your bike hire from Coypool P&R - with all the accessories you could need to get you and your family out on wheels. You can also check out the unmanned 24/7 bike hire via the Donkey Bike App at other City locations.
Plymouth is easily accessible by train with a wide range of services running from a variety of locations within England. Although some services may require a change or two.
Travelling from London takes around 3 hours with Great Western Railway, if you're coming from the north, the trip from Manchester can take 5 hours 15 minutes.
Alternatively, the recently renovated Night Riviera Sleeper service runs Monday – Friday and Sunday evenings. Visit gwr.com/sleeper for more details on times and how to book.
