Go wild in Paradise this Bank Holiday weekend
Where have the summer holidays gone? Is it my imagination or are they shrinking? As well as being the Bank Holiday weekend, for most of us this weekend (26-28 Aug) will be the last one before school goes back. So why not come and see us at the Face Painting cabin at Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, Herts, and go a bit wild. Take your inspiration from the animals and let us transform you in to a silver leopard, lion king, tiger, butterfly or bird. We’re opposite the lemurs, from 11am every day – see you there!

Summer holidays: painting in Paradise
Team Juliet is in training for school holidays It’s only a matter of days now before school’s out for the summer, so I’ve been busy lining up a top team of face-painters at Paradise Wildlife Park for the holidays. Nams, Philly, Kate, Zoe, Heather, Brierley and Linda will all be taking turns to paint with me over the next couple of months, each one bringing their own style and expertise. So do remember to bring your loyalty card if you’ve got one, and to ask for one if you haven’t. Eight signed boxes earn you a free face-paint! You’ll find us in my face-painting cabin, opposite the lemurs. See you there…
