Potential students at Staffordshire college will get chance to walk and talk with the animals
Visitors to South Staffordshire College's Penkridge campus won't be monkeying around a week on Saturday when they see what the facility has to offer them.
Prospective students will visit the college's Rodbaston site and will also have chance to view the Animal Zone which is home to around 600 animals from over 140 different species from meerkats to monkeys, snakes and rabbits to alpacas.
The zone is open to the public on weekends and school holidays where visitors can hear talks from the animal keepers as well as take part in craft sessions and enjoy a bite to eat in the cafe.
The Rodbaston campus hosts amongst others, animal care based courses from vet care and nursing to equine and dog grooming as well as covering horticulture, agriculture and countryside management.
The open day will be one of five to be held on the day at the college campuses at Rodbaston, Lichfield , Tamworth , Cannock and Torc College. They will cover many different areas from carpentry to software development and business.
For full details on the open days, which all take place on Saturday January 20 between 10am and 1pm, log onto www.southstaffs.ac.uk/open-days or for information on the animal zone, www.southstaffs.ac.uk/rodbaston-animal-zone.
