Overview

Join us for breakfast at the Keeper’s Kitchen, Marwell Zoo. The cafe is located next to the shop just inside the former entrance to the zoo (they’ve moved the ticket office). Choose from a full English or something lighter (see link below for menu). Opening time is 9.00am so arrive anytime after that to order your breakfast.

The walk will start at 10.00am from the back of the Marwell Zoo car park, so you can join us then if you don’t wish to partake of breakfast. Our walk will take us up to Owslebury, and a circuit around the edges of Fair Oak, Bishopstoke and Colden Common - just far enough to walk off those sausages.

Bring refreshments for lunch and a coffee break.

No booking required.
