A ZOO is challenging artists to come up with a design to be projected at a new event for thousands to see.

Marwell Zoo is hosting its first ever Glow event, featuring more than 250,000 LED lights to create a magical trail near the entrance.

Ahead of the festive light experience, the wildlife venue is inviting the public to come up with a design to be projected onto Marwell Hall.

The winning design will be on show to thousands of visitors throughout the debut light festival. Ideas could range from a favourite animal, a festive scene or the tree of life.
