A popular zoo and animal sanctuary has given fans a treat by offering to keep its doors open for free on New Year's Day.
With most stores and venues closed on January 1, there is not much to do for bored families, and the Five Sisters Zoo is offering a day out to help keep the kids entertained.
Posting on their official Facebook page, the Five Sisters team wrote: "Although the zoo is closed on New Year's Day we have decided to leave the entrance open for anyone wanting a walk around.
"There will be no admittance charge although optional donations are always welcome."

They added that none of the usual food outlets or kids rides would be open but that the zoo itself would open from 10 am for visitors and close at 3.30 pm.
They also asked that people don't bring their pets, and warned that they day would be weather dependent.
Fans of the zoo were delighted by the gesture and urged people to donate if they do go, one wrote: "What a kind gesture I hope you get plenty [of] donations for a great cause."
While another added: "What a wonderful gesture and I hope that you get lots of donations from those who can."
