GUIDE: Have you found all the tortoises yet? Time is running out...

Tuesday 29 August 2023


Tortoises have taken over the island for the summer – but anyone who is still missing any of the sculptures on the trail has until just Thursday to find them.

Durrell's Tortoise Takeover is scheduled to end on Thursday 31 August.

After the end of the Takeover, the sculptures will be gathered together for a farewell weekend at the Zoo, from Thursday 14 September 2023 to Sunday 17 September 2023.

They will then be auctioned off to raise money for the Zoo's new Tropical House for reptiles and amphibians.

Online bidding has begun already - and the lots include a "secret sculpture".

TIME TO EXPLORE...

You can find the full official trail guide in the July edition of Connect Magazine below.
