If you've ever wanted to learn about, and handle, snakes, reptiles and large bugs up close, then you're in for a treat as the Museum welcomes small animal experience specialists, Frazoo.

Run by primary school teacher, Frazie Hulbert, who has had a passion for exotic animals since childhood, these exciting and informative activity sessions with gentle, friendly animals are ideal for curious-minded children aged 5 years and over. Frazie has given many animal talks in schools with her own animals, and as a volunteer at Bristol Zoo and the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm.

So if you fancy stroking a stick insect, cuddling a chameleon, bonding with a beetle, giggling at a gecko, or snuggling with a snake, give the Museum a call on 01803 293975 to reserve your tickets. But spaces are very limited, as handling sessions are small, so book your tickets quickly to avoid disappointment.

For more information on Frazoo and their amazing collection of animals, visit their website: http://www.frazoo.co.uk/
