Come and meet your newest neighbour, and take part in the "Name the Gorilla" competition to win a prize!  Children can also enter the "Gorilla Colouring Competition" to design a gorilla-friend.

Closing date for all competitions is the 26th July where the winners will be drawn at the end of our Teddy Bears Picnic!
