£1 entry to Slimbridge for one day only

See Slimbridge Wetland Centre's new Flamingo Lagoon for just £1.

Visitors who wear pink to Slimbridge Wetland Centre on Tuesday 17 July 2012 will pay just £1 admission – saving themselves almost £10 on normal ticket prices.

The special offer is to celebrate the launch of the Flamingo Lagoon at Slimbridge, and visitors will simply have to arrive wearing one item of pink clothing to benefit from the generous saving.

Slimbridge Wetland Centre is the only place in the world which has all six species of flamingo, and the new attraction will showcase the largest flock of flamingos in the UK – up to 250 Greater Flamingos.

Designed to mimic the habitat they would have in the wild in Africa and to encourage breeding, the new Flamingo Lagoon will also offer visitors a spectacular view from a sunken observatory, according to organisers.

Veronica Chrisp, general manager, said: ‘The sunken observatory will give a unique view of these incredible birds looking through their legs.’

Normal admission to Slimbridge costs adults £10.95; concessions £8.45; children aged 4 to 16 £5.95; while children under 4 are free of charge.
