An animal-loving family had the chance to meet all creatures great and small during a special visit to Banham Zoo. The trip was organised by East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), which has a base at The Nook, in Framingham Earl.
Two-year-old Samuel Davis, who has Mowat-Wilson Syndrome and receives care at the hospice, enjoyed a day at the popular attraction with sister Erin, four, mum Grace and nan Pam Clarke. He and his family live in Scole, just outside Diss.
EACH Play Specialist Heidi Foster said: “Samuel and his family had a lovely time exploring. Erin enjoyed the animal encounter and loved guessing which animal would come out onto the stage first. She particularly loved seeing the armadillo, rats and a small owl. Samuel enjoyed watching the monkeys as they were playing close to the glass. He stayed with his nan and they also had a nice chat with our two volunteers who joined us on the day.”
The family enjoyed a picnic lunch where they were able to sit and watch the camels.
Another family had also been due to come along but could not make it.
