Kids can meet Bing and Flop at Chester Zoo for storytime, a trail and more

Fans of the CBeebies favourites Bing and Flop will soon be able to meet them at a special event running at Chester Zoo.

A Bing activity trail has been launched and from next week there will be storytime sessions and meet and greets with the pair.

The stories will be read in Madagascar Basecamp twice a day from May 15 to 26, where little ones can meet the characters.

Families can also enjoy a self-guided Bing trail, which is running from now until May 26, and involves completing a zookeeper's checklist along the way.

Bingsters can discover what warty pigs eat, learn how endangered tree kangaroos climb and meet rare Sumatran tiger cubs Alif and Raya.

They can also learn all about the zoo’s 20,000 animals, including Caribbean flamingos and Rothschild’s giraffes.

Storytimes take place at 11.30am and 2pm. The term-time event is included in the usual ticket price - children £22.72, adults £29.54, under twos and carers free. You can book online on the website.
