A week of celebrations!

Check out the pic of the cutest piglets ever, now living 'free-range' in Crealy's Animal Realm - hurry along to see them whilst they're still tiny!

What an exciting week so far! We've had birthdays and anniversaries along with major developments in our new attractions for 2010! Firstly it was Ali Ofield's birthday - Ali is one of our longest standing Rangers, having cared for our animals for almost 12 years - she is devoted to them - even hand rearing animals at home! It was also Chris Fullard's 10 year anniversary. Chris is a crucial member of our Maintenance Team with his painting and theming skills. Lastly it was my birthday yesterday - so much fun - and I was spoilt with a chocolate cake and chorus of Happy Birthday too! Thanks everyone!

We all got together again yesterday to review all the new attractions and agree how we're going to make 2010 even more magical. Investing £1.6m this year with awesome rides going in to both Devon's Crealy and Cornwall's Crealy will make 2010 our most exciting year yet!

Helen (Projects) and Kate (Animals) went to the Wild About Devon seminar with their wellies on, to learn more about wildlife. Devon's Crealy opens the new Wilderness experience at Easter. The renowned naturalist Derek Gow is working with us to introduce more deer including some we can get up close with! We can't wait for the Wilderness to be open!

More news on the great new attractions coming soon...
