Staff at Telford's Exotic Zoo are getting ready to host another thrill-filled half-term, with pumpkin picking, bush-tucker trials, and plenty of spooky photo opportunities.

As well as reintroducing the haunted woods, creepy-crawly cave, edible bugs and tarantula meet-and-greets, for the first time this year, the zoo is hosting a nighttime 'spooktacular'.

For four nights over half-term, the all-new 'Exotic Boo' after-dark event will also give the zoo's little visitors the chance to trick or treat around the Telford Town Park attraction.

Zoo owner Scott Adams said: "There are a lot of scarefests aimed at adults, but the Exotic Boo is more family-friendly, it's spooky - but in a fun, light-hearted way.
