An animal park on the edge of the county is temporarily closing from tomorrow.

Cotswold Wildlife Park in Burford is closing its gates in light of governmental guidelines and advice from Public Health England.

In a statement, it continued: "Although we will be closed to visitors, we would like to keep you as involved as possible with news from the Park and will be posting regular updates on our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

"We will, of course, keep you updated with regards to our reopening as and when we are advised by Public Health England it is safe to do so.

"Thank you for your loyal support of Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Park as soon as we are able to."

If you have previously purchased a Keeper Experience, Animal Encounter or E-ticket, the Park will be in touch with you. 

Season tickets will be extended by the period of time it is shut.
