Coming to the zoo this August, Afterglow brings live music, giant puppets and a land of dinosaurs, plus pop-up performances, classic fairground food and more.
You'll also be able to see animals across the zoo, with many of our indoor habitats open into the evening too, offering a rare chance to explore after hours.
Join us for an evening with a true festival feel, right here at the zoo.
As a member, entry to Afterglow is completely free.
To help everyone enjoy their evening, we’ve introduced time slots to manage the flow of visitors. Afterglow is a popular event and we expect it to be busy, so booking in advance is essential.
If you're able, please consider adding a donation when you book. Your support helps us deliver unforgettable experiences, protect wildlife, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.
Want to bring a guest? You can book standard Afterglow tickets alongside your member booking here.
Can’t find your preferred slot? You can still attend Afterglow - just arrive at the zoo before 2pm to enjoy the evening.
