A wildlife park is celebrating International Primate Day with keeper talks, animal feeds and craft activities.

We’re giving one lucky winner a chance to get their hands on a family ticket to Howletts Wild Animal Park and meet these marvellous mammals, including the park’s gibbons, lemurs and langurs.

During the school holidays, Howletts, in Bekesbounre near Canterbury, has been showcasing a different species each week as part of its Wild Summer.

The final week, from Monday, August 26 to Sunday, September 1, is Lemur Week and there will be plenty of children’s activities, free feeding sessions, expert talks from keepers and face painting.

It also ties in with International Primate Day, which falls on Sunday, September 1 and is an annual event to help raise awareness for the world’s primate species.

To celebrate, we’re not only giving away a family ticket but we’re also giving our winner a chance to meet some of these amazing animals with a Lemur Encounter.

You can discover Howletts’ different types of lemurs, including the ring-tailed lemur and the black and white ruffed lemur, and even get a chance to hand-feed them with the help of their keeper.

Lemur Week is also a great opportunity to learn more about Howletts’ charity partner, the Aspinall Foundation, and their conservation efforts.

Since 2008, the charity has been working in Madagascar, lemurs’ native home, to help protect and rebuild their habitat and support the local community in making more sustainable changes to benefit the surrounding wildlife.

And, if you are visiting on International Primate Day, you can find out more about the Aspinall Foundation’s rewilding project that has helped return more than 280 primates to protected sites across Java and South Sumatra.

For almost 15 years, the foundation has worked to rewild many animals born in captivity, including the world’s first rescue, rehabilitation and rewilding of a rare pair of siamang gibbons last year.

The charity has also built a first-of-its-kind Siamang rehabilitation centre in South Sumatra to help protect the endangered animals that are in decline due to the loss of habitat and illegal pet trade in Indonesia.

If you want to visit Howletts and meet the lemurs and other primates, you can take advantage of the park’s new summer ticket value bundle offer that gives visitors great savings on group tickets.

You can book tickets to visit Howletts online here.

The park is open daily from 9.30am to 6pm during the school holidays.
