West Lothian’s Five Sisters Zoo will shimmer and sparkle once more when its ever-popular illuminations bring some Christmas magic to this year’s festive season.

The attraction, at Gavieside, West Calder, will light up from November 15th right through to December 23rd, offering a spectacular yuletide experience for all the family.

We have teamed up with lighting experts Blachere Illumination UK and promise this will be our best display to date, captivating audiences with enchanting beauty and brilliance.

Thousands of lights and Christmas decorations will glitter around the grounds. Youngsters will also get the chance to enjoy a spin on the children’s rides while grown-ups will appreciate the heated bar area serving mulled wine and cider and much more. And, of course, there’s the chance to see all the animals in the zoo’s collection.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
