Boogie for Brizzle '10

Bristol Zoo's annual summer festival is back for another day of music, theatre, circus acts, cabaret, food, drink and fun for all ages. Boogie for Brizzle will be held on Saturday 17th July, in the Zoo's 12-acre grounds, and is the only night of the year the entire zoo stays open until late.

The event celebrates and showcases Bristol's abundant home-grown talent, including some of the best performers and live music the city has to offer.

Line-up

The line-up for this year includes Dreadzone, Miss Cecily, Pete Josef, and Vamos.

Throughout the day there will also be walkabout entertainers, action-packed carbaret, body-popping break dance, circus performers, stilt walkers and children's activities. Plus of course the opportunity to see hundreds of different animal species at home in the Zoo.

Fund raising

Boogie for Brizzle runs from 3pm until late. The event will raise funds to help cover the running costs of the Zoo's new amphibian breeding sanctuary. Called the AmphiPod, the facility provides the perfect conditions to allow two frog species on the verge of extinction to breed, in an effort to help save them from extinction.

Accommodation

This event does not have camping but there are a number of hotels, hostels and guest houses in the area.
