The rain hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of all our creatures today at Avant.  Come along and meet Tank the tortoise and friends (North West Reptile Club), a pretty pipistrelle bat called Thumper (Merseyside and Lancs Bat Group) and Billy the Badger (Lancashire Badgers).

 

 

 

 

 

Peanuts and Bullseye, the donkeys, are being entertained by Stone the Crows Morris Dancing Side. And if animals aren’t for you, Brian our magician will really test your powers of observation!

Deputy Mayor of South Ribble, Councillor Mick Titherington and his consort Mrs Carol Titherington have been down to meet all our guests, furry, feathered and reptilian although they did draw a line at having their faces painted!
