You can get a half price child’s ticket for every one full price adult ticket purchased, a saving of £8. The zoo hosts a range of exotic animals, and has a spectacular bird show that’s not to be missed, having visited myself lots of times, I can confirm it’s very magical!

But from now until November 5, the scheme is offering an extra 175 points. To be eligible for the extra 175 points, two of your five items must be from the following categories: lipstick, hand cream, body lotion, travel mini, refill pouch and dental products.

This scheme is a brilliant and easy to use scheme, simply scan your items into the ‘Recycle at Boots’ app, wait for them to be approved within 24 hours and then head to Boots, pop the items into the recycle box and scan the QR on the box, and that’s it!

You’ll receive your voucher immediately and it must be used within three days. The bonus 175 points will come through as a separate voucher, so don’t forget to scan both at the till when you make your purchase. Your total must be £10 or more to receive both the usual 500 points and the bonus 175 points, this is a total of £6.75 worth of points, meaning you get more than half of your money back!
