A vibrant new attraction has officially opened in a colourful launch event dubbed a 'feast for the senses.'
Love + Colour, the new indoor attraction at Birdworld, will open to the public on May 25. It offers a celebration of the stunning world of colourful birds, providing an immersive experience for all ages.
Located in Birdworld’s former ‘Temperate House’, the VIP event was marked with a ribbon cutting ceremony, with Councillor Catherine Clark, the Chairman of East Hampshire District Council, performing the honours.
Also invited was Cllr Anthony Williams from East Hampshire District Council, the Mayor of Farnham Councillor Brodie Mauluka, local journalists, influencers and their children for an exclusive sneak peek.
On arrival, visitors enjoyed colourful drinks and canapés, heard insightful talks from Birdworld’s dedicated team, and toured the new space.
Throughout Love + Colour, guests encounter an array of magnificent colourful birds in an enchanting walkthrough experience with beautiful murals created by local artist Jen Leach Murals.
The area also includes brightly coloured 'selfie' spots, perfect for visitors of all ages, along with interactive play specially designed for young children.
Focusing on the intricate relationship-building of birds and the lessons humans can draw from these behaviours, 'Love + Colour' offers a unique learning opportunity.
At the end of the walkthrough, the tour culminates in a vibrant display of birds from some of Birdworld's successful breeding programmes, including the Asian Glossy Starlings, with their petrol-green plumage shimmering in a glossy, metallic sheen that catches the light magnificently.
