Animals will be taking centre stage when Wild Things: Live comes to Bluewater.

The interactive experience gives visitors the chance to handle animals they wouldn’t usually get to see up close.

Animal educators are on hand to reveal more about creatures from around the world, including penguins, lemurs and exotic reptiles.

Presented by SeaWorld and Busch Gardens in Florida, the event hopes to teach visitors about conservation and there is also the chance to win a family holiday to Florida to visit the Worlds of Discovery Parks.

Wild Things: Live. April 10. Rose Gallery, Bluewater, near Greenhithe.
