Chester Zoo's Lantern Festival is coming back in time for Christmas and we're already counting down the days.
Each year the zoo puts on a spectacular light display, full of illuminating wildlife and enchanting animal characters and this year's extravaganza is no different - despite coronavirus restrictions being in place for visitors.
"We've carefully planned this year's event to keep you safe, but we're sure you'll have the same memorable Chester Zoo experience," the event's organisers say.

This year's event will transform the zoo into a spectacular winter wonderland, with a sprinkling of snow and some unexpected festive encounters on the way.
Inspired by festive stories, guests can visit eleven different worlds as part of the festival, including a cactus desert complete with glowing cacti, frogs and colour changing chameleons, and the black and white 'Zebra Grasslands', for what's promised to be "an illuminating adventure like no other". We can't wait!
Particular highlights of this year's event include an observatory-themed experience, where visitors will be treated to a visual display of the planets above their heads, while the 'Underwater' world will take visitors under the sea, where they'll get to meet a show-stopping octopus.

Meanwhile, visitors will get to experience their favourite stories in the Peter Pan-inspired 'Second Star to the Right' world or 'Walking in the Air', a display straight out of Raymond Briggs' The Snowman.
At the heart of this year's event will be a sunset-themed display, filled with animal lanterns taken from the African Savannah, and which will be surrounded by trees and glowing grasses.
Full of colour, drama and inspiring lantern displays, we're sure kids and adults of all ages will enjoy this one!
