Headline: Lion Hugs Lamppost At Zoo

Caption: ZSL London Zoo’s Asiatic lion pride came face-to-face with the iconic lamp post from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe recently - to celebrate the launch of the ultimate family day out this Christmas. Zookeepers transformed the literary landmark into a giant scratching post for Asiatic lions Bhanu and Indi, who made the most of their new 7ft tall scratching post, made of cast iron and hessian rope. Marking a new partnership with The Bridge Theatre, ZSL London Zoo’s guests can combine a festive trip to see the lions with watching the most famous big cat in literature come to life on stage at The Bridge Theatre in south London - in their new production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Tickets are on sale now for the exciting combined ticket, starting at £69.50. ZSL’s Chief Operating Officer Kathryn England said: “With ZSL London Zoo celebrating the magic of Christmas with a range of festive activities, and this much-celebrated production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe coming to London, it’s the perfect time to offer families the merriest day out in the city. “Literature-loving animal fans are in for the ultimate magical experience – visit the real Aslan during the day at ZSL London Zoo before watching the classic story come to life on stage at night!” Head to ZSL London Zoo this Christmas to enjoy a packed schedule of festive fun events, before watching the childhood classic come to life at the Bridge Theatre.
