Children and adults alike were able to meet grass snakes, slow worms, toads, harvest mice, ferrets and a barn owl called Sly.

And youngsters' creative sides could come out, inspired by their animal experiences, with a drop-in art and craft session, making wild creatures from natural and recycled materials.
Fox Club co-ordinator Kirstie Francis said: "This was a brilliant opportunity for children to get close up to some of our local wildlife.
"Hopefully the experience will inspire them to want to know more and in the future they will take a keen interest in the amazing wildlife on their doorstep."
