We were thrilled to take part in this year’s Prom Xtra right on our doorstep in Colwyn Bay! As an eco-zone exhibitor we showcased our passion for wildlife, conservation, and community engagement with our stall packed with exciting activities for all ages — here’s a sneak peek at what visitors had to look forward to!
Animal Artefacts Touch Table – Education Through Exploration
Our collection of animal artefacts offered a fascinating hands-on learning experience for families, sparking curiosity and important conversations about conservation. These natural objects acted as powerful discussion drivers, helping guests connect with the animal kingdom and understand the role we all play in conservation for future generations.
#WMZPromXtra Photo Opportunity – Say Cheese with a Roar!
Guests snapped photos with our life-sized tiger plush and safari props at the #WMZPromXtra photo booth. Whether striking a pose in a pith helmet or roaring next to the tiger, it was a chance to show off their wild side — and share it on social media to spread awareness of our work!
Recycled Eco-Plush Giveaway – Cuddly Meets Conscious
Lucky visitors had the chance to win an adorable recycled plush animal in our eco-giveaway! This soft and sustainable keepsake was a little gift from us that showed conservation can be cute and impactful!
Leaflets with a Bonus – 10% Off Zoo Admission
For those wanting to learn more about what was at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, we provided new Zoo leaflets filled with information about the Zoo’s animals, how to visit us, and news on our latest addition, the Papilio Forest tropical butterfly house! As a special thank you for stopping by, each group recieved a 10% off voucher for same-day Zoo admission — giving visitors the perfect excuse to make their Prom Xtra weekend even wilder with a visit to the Welsh Mountain Zoo.
Stickers, Not Stationery – Sustainable Souvenirs
Instead of a plastic-heavy giveaway, we offered fun, free stickers made from recycled paper! These low-waste, kid-approved zoovenirs allowed us to share something fun and memorable in an environmentally conscious way.
A huge Welsh Mountain Zoo thank you to everyone who visited our stall — your enthusiasm and support meant the world to us. If you couldn’t make it to Prom Xtra, no worries! There are still plenty of ways to get involved and support wildlife conservation at the Welsh Mountain Zoo!
