Bristol Zoo is to auction off hundreds of items of memorabilia, from signs to sculptures and statues to Victorian benches from its historic site in Clifton - to help fund the expansion of its site on the edge of the city.
The iconic zoo, one of the oldest in the world, closed in 2022, and now the conservation and education charity that ran it is to hold two public auctions to raise money to support the development of the Bristol Zoo Project, its site just outside Bristol near Cribbs Causeway.
The first auction will feature more than 300 hundred lots of memorabilia later this month, from historic posters and signs to larger objects including animal sculptures.
A second auction three days later will feature 45 of the zoo’s original Victorian benches, created especially for the zoo between 1850 and 1880 and located around the gardens.
