Curraghs Wildlife Park has confirmed it has close for the foreseeable future due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

A statement from the park said it that from this morning, it would be closed ’indefinitely’.

It added: ’Animal keepers will of course be here everyday to take care of all our wonderful animals. We have been contingency planning for a while to prioritise our animal welfare and make sure we can continue the very best care.

’For members, rest assured we will look at suspending memberships and re-starting when we open again so you still get the full 12 months.

’In the meantime we hope to be even more active on social media so you can still keep up with all the goings on in the animals’ lives.’
