Marwell Zoo and Hampshire’s country parks are among the attractions which will be closed on Thursday, November 2 as a result of Storm Ciaran.

This includes Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Lepe Country Park, Butser Hill and Staunton Country Park - and includes all cafes and toilets.
Other outdoor attractions across Hampshire are expected to follow suit.
A spokesperson for Marwell Zoo said: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and reassure everyone that the safety of our animals, staff and guests are our top priority.
