Residents across the Black Country can enjoy a discounted day out this autumn thanks to a special postcode offer from Dudley Zoo and Castle.

Throughout the month, residents living in DY, WS, WV and B postcode areas can visit the popular attraction for just £10 per person, offering a significant saving on standard admission prices. Eligible visitors can either pre-book online or purchase tickets on the gate, although proof of address will be required on arrival.

The special promotion has been launched as the zoo prepares to celebrate a major milestone.

Zoo Director Matt Lewis said: “As we head into our 90th year, we want to thank those living on our doorstep for their support over the past nine decades. We hope lots of local residents take advantage of this discounted offer and come and join us this September!”

Set within 40 acres of woodland surrounding the ruins of Dudley Castle, the attraction is home to hundreds of animals, including endangered species from around the world, as well as the UK's largest collection of historic Tecton buildings.

The offer is available throughout September, giving local families the chance to enjoy a day at the zoo for less while supporting the conservation and education work carried out by the charity.
