All rise as Blue popstar and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Simon Webbe, headlines Twycross Zoo’s final Summer Sundown event of 2022.

Taking place after-hours at the Zoo on Saturday 3 September 2022, the event promises a wild evening of music and entertainment to mark the end of the summer holidays.

Following the hugely-popular Summer Sundown event in July, featuring McFly’s Dougie Poynter, Twycross Zoo is offering visitors another chance to enjoy live entertainment and an exclusive after-hours zoo experience.

Ahead of Simon’s evening DJ set, guests will be able to enter the 100-acre zoo from 5pm to discover hundreds of animals including many endangered species, at a time never usually seen by the public. Tickets start at £27 and can be booked via www.twycrosszoo.org.

Brit Award winning Simon Webbe is a member of the hugely successful boyband Blue, who have sold more than 13 million records worldwide, scoring eleven Top Ten hits and four Top Ten albums in the UK alone. Following Blue's hiatus, Simon released two best selling solo albums, which included the hits Lay Your Hands, No Worries and After All This Time. He has also appeared on numerous television shows around the world, including a run on series eight of I'm A Celebrity... on ITV1 and the twelfth series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1. New for September’s Summer Sundown, visitors can upgrade their evening experience by purchasing one of the limited VIP Tickets, which includes a mimosa drinks reception in the Zoo’s innovative Gibbon Forest habitat before the evening entertainment begins.

During the Summer Sundown event an animal welfare officer will be present, alongside the zookeepers, to care for the animals. Sound levels will be monitored and animal houses will be closed during the evening at times appropriate for the animals.

Don’t miss Summer Sundown with Simon Webbe on Saturday 3 September 2022 at Twycross Zoo. Tickets start at £27 and can be booked via twycrosszoo.org/summer-sundown.
