New Plymouth's Brooklands Zoo to close from 6th March as city prepares for WOMAD
The North Island’s Brooklands Zoo will close from Monday 6th March for almost three weeks as contractors prepare for the return of the World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival to the city.
Along with the zoo, entrances to Brooklands Park, Bowl of Brooklands, the Gables and Kunming Garden will also be closed because of health and safety regulations.
WOMAD, which will return to New Plymouth after a two-year absence because of COVID restrictions, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary at the Bowl of Brooklands and surrounding areas from 17th to 19th March.
This year’s festival, which still has tickets remaining, features 29 music and dance acts and 10 speakers across eight different stages.
The Zoo will remain closed until Friday 24th March.
