Twycross Zoo’s 60th Anniversary

ROARSOME CELEBRATIONS THROUGHOUT 2023

From humble beginnings…

Rival pet shop owners, Molly Badham MBE and Nathalie Evans, opened the gates of Twycross Zoo on 26 May 1963. Embarking on a journey that would transform Twycross Zoo into an internationally recognised conservation charity, setting standards which are now followed by zoos across the world.

Today, we’re home to hundreds of animals, support global conservation projects and are continually paving the path for the future of endangered species.

Join us for an exciting year as we celebrate our 60 year history and continue our story…
